Units listed in the exceptions file (~src/main/resources/metric_exceptions.txt~) will be shown on both sides. This is a way to reduce the number of options you must search through if you only convert one way. The expressions tab is unaffected. - Show Duplicates in "Convert Units" :: If unchecked, any unit that has multiple names will only have one included in the Convert Units lists. The selected name will be the longest; if there are multiple longest names one is selected arbitrarily. You will still be able to use these alternate names in the expressions tab. |
