[Kde-graphics-devel] Kruler, measurement in inches, Bug 36100

[Mathias Soeken]

Hi,

sorry for answering late. I would like to take a look at your patch at the 
weekend. Do you have an SVN account? If so, feel free to commit it, if it 
doesnt break anything. It would be nice if it will fully cover the bug 36100, 
so that it can marked as fixed.

Best regards,
Mathias
