Why is this commit needed, can you please elaborate?
I assume that when adding a new device, one measures the printhead cutter distance using a ruler. How can one measure the distance in pixels?
I think this is a physical value, thus it should be in a real distance unit.

Hmm, my assumption was that we should measure the distance using a test pattern. I hadn't thought about using a ruler.
In the end we must advance the tape by some whole number of pixels, so at least in my mind pixels are the fundamental unit of length.

Oh, that makes sense now! Measuring the test pattern indeed makes it reasonable to prefer pixels over millimeters.
Some simple cleanups for the develop branch, more to come.
