Bridge: show dimensions in inches at exact size

Going all the way back to the beginning of Bridge, I have always wondered why Thumbnails, dimensions in inches, does not show exact numbers. It is always rounded up from a tenth of an inch.

 

Example: a file described in Bridge shows a file as 15.2x22.6, yet when opened in PS it is 15.2x22.527.

I assume it is to save visual real estate but it requires opening every file to confirm exact dimensions in inches.

 

We often make print files with a fine black line around the image. So a 16x20 will show up as 16.1x20.1 with only 6 pixels added around for trimming. It assumes that we are good with the "estimated" numbers.

 

Having exact dimensions allow checking for accuracy and consistentcy.
