Hi. I like Pixelmator Pro. But I use it to make graphic designs for murals. I use the standard 1" = 1' and make a document, let's say, 15 feet high by 40 feet long. The horizontal ruler is helpful - the vertical ruler goes from 0 at the top to - 15 at the bottom. The exact opposite of what I need. I learned one can drag the corner down to make the - 15 into a 0, but why is that the default? Seems odd and one of the only irritating features of PP.

Hey there! It's the default way rulers work in most editing apps — no other reason really... Of course, for more unconventional workflows, it would help to save ruler settings and use the same ones across different editing sessions. We'll have to think about this.
