When I said about increasing the funcionality of tens of dialogs without changing any code besides adding this chain icon to activate/deactivate unit conversion. It could be even be done in a way that, when someone would select a template, it would become locked - as it's default state on the New Image Dialog should be open. There is nothing about "impossibility" of working with templates here. There is an issue about Left to right - top down reading and inputing values into a form, or keeping a form that has one entry behaving right to left, upside down. JS -><-
