Dear all,
1- we are having issues since applying an imageJ update:
In the 1.51h update,
"Thanks to Thorsten Wagner, TIFF files with cm units are now converted to µm units if the pixel width is less than 0.0001 cm."

As a result of this, Our scale is now switched by default to um rather than cm, and all the outputs (length, areas...).

We need to revert to cm units regardless since all our data collected thus far are in cm . Is there any way to deactivate this functionality or simply write in some sort of preferences file that we want all our data in cm  ?

2- Second problem
pressing Ctrl+M gives us 9 decimals, if we indicate 9 digits in set measurments, in the measures window but extracting these values using the "getResult("Length", 0);" command during a Macro for example, results in data which are inconsistently 4 to 8 decimals.
Any idea why ?

Many thanks
S
