+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #312690 +++ It seems to me that Karbon is designed to handle primarily page description documents, hence the page size is set in the Page Layout dialogue box. When applied to SVG, however, this looks weird, as SVG images appear in all possible sizes and ratios in the wild (and they may contain interactive content which is not designed for printing at all). At least SVG 1.1 also supports "px" as length unit, cmp. "The supported length unit identifiers are: em, ex, px, pt, pc, cm, mm, in, and percentages." from http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html So it seems only valid that Karbon also offers px as a length unit as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tell Karbon to use pixels for measurement. Actual Results: 1. Oops, no way. Expected Results: Can do it.
+1! Adding pixel unit in every size entries is really needed (for document size, outline size, ...).
I was looking for a tool to get started with vetorial graphics creation. Karbon was at first sight the best choice for me, given its simplicity. But the lack of the PX measurement unit made me give up, and start using another tool. As a web developer, I think this feature is essential !

Unfortunately, the patch fails to apply when I run `arc patch D15111`.
