Change the link dimensions to mm in the Links panel

Hello all

I would like the image dimensions in the Links panel to be listed in mm.

Is this possible?

I have changed the ruler settings to mm and checked that the Units and Increments are set to mm.

But still the links panel listed as pixels.

    The Transform panel can show the dimensions in the current unit.

    Sure, you can always do that I guess.
    Just be nice to have the physical dimensions in the panel, along with the other information you can view easily.

    Thanks.

    Are you referring to the PPI being in inches or the pixel dimensions?

    Hello David

    Sorry not clear. Was referring to the dimensions. 

    If you are working on a print document, I figured it would be more useful for the dimensions to be in mm as opposed to pixels (as above).
    Is this possible?
    Do you think it would be useful?
    Thanks for your reply.
