[Qgis-user] map scale

[Jake Maier]

Thank you Alex. This worked half. I need to move the decimal place 2 places
(X100). I only can move it one (x10). The problem is that I get a very long
scale bar otherwise. Or it displays 528 instead of 5280 (feet per mile). I
guess I may have to wait for a fix. In the meanwhile I will use 100 feet as
scale.
Nice to know I found a bug. 
Thanks again for your quick response
Jake

I think you've found a bug in the decimal limit. As a workaround I think you
can move everything over a decimal place (so x10) and then adjust the
segment size/number of units per segment to come out to what you want.

Thanks,
Alex
