Description Tony 2016-07-19 17:46:27 UTC 
Because tabs are set in hundredths of an inch, please allow the option for the  horizontal ruler to be displayed in tenths of an inch.  It seems this should be trivial for a seasoned programmer to implement.  Thank you for you consideration.

I guess it is a reasonable request -> NEW.

But is it trivial to find a seasoned programmer with free time willing to implement it? :) It does get a lot more trivial with money, though..

Perhaps this isn't quite as trivial as a I thought.  How is this new feature (top ruler showing in tenths of an inch) coming along?  Does it get any attention in the developer world?

Unfortunately there is no way to find a developer except you find someone by yourself.
