Hm, interesting idea. I like everything that make things simpler, and this 
would really simplify the <logic>-section a lot, without taking away 
functionality. I guess it would also be rather less confusing, as the 
spinboxes will stay in place, and not switch measurement units.

Only drawback is - to me, as a native to the metric system - that I always get 
mildly annoyed when forced to use inches ;) I guess it's still the way to go, 
though, unless anybody feels strongly otherwise.

Minor correction to the pseudo-code:

	if (getRK_val ("autores")) $resolution = 96; 
	else $resolution = getRK_val ("resolution");
