Metric height/weight input option?

[Fitz]

Is it possible to provide duplicate height and weight fields in the Background tab for both metric and imperial measures?

At present the imperial measures are required and the metric version is calculated from that. It would be nice if it were possible to enter specific metric values and have the imperial values automatically entered in the appropriate fields, and vice-versa.

That way those of us who are used to the metric system can input values in a rational, intuitive system and leave the arcane, archaic, incomprehensible measurement units to be calculated by the machine :)

Not in v1

Be nice ;) What is Rational and intuitive really depends on what you are used to. While I can not visualize how heavy 100KG is or how long 2KM, I can tell you with out looking how heavy 200lbs is and how long 2 miles is.

BTW I do agree with you that having the ability to do either (or both) forms of measurement would be nice.

PS Yes, I did read that it is coming in v2 :P
