example of rare "DPI" usage

SUMMARY
Krita does well in describing image resolution as PPI (PIXELS per inch, or per cm) throughout its interface. However, it departs from this standard by describing DPI (DOTS per inch) on the print "Design Templates" options window for new document creation. DPI does not mean PPI.  The DPI label should not be used.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Create a new document
2.  Look in the "Design Templates" section of the "Create new document" dialog.
 

OBSERVED RESULT
There are incorrect references to "72dpi", "96dpi" and "300dpi". 

EXPECTED RESULT
This should be "72ppi", "96ppi" and "300ppi" to maintain consistency with the rest of the Krita interface and with common design terminology.  Even better, you could remove the labels of "72" and "96" entirely for the cinema and web design templates as these templates do not actually make use of this type of measure (even if Krita needs to default so some hidden PPI setting in the background).
