impossible to export slice in exact size

I've never fight for pixel decimals, or for phantomatic HALF pixels coming out from nowhere in my entire professional life.

Be that as it may, vector objects like those AD & many other apps can create are inherently resolution independent, meaning they are based on geometric descriptions, not pixel maps. This makes it possible to scale them to any size or rotate them to any angle without becoming blurry or pixelated (as long as they remain vectors). This includes dimensions & positions that are tiny fractions of a pixel.

So for example, consider this tiny vector shape shown at 1500 % zoom level against a 1 px grid.

Each of its four nodes is perfectly aligned on whole number X/Y coordinates of the pixel grid, yet it would be impossible to map all of it to whole pixel values when exporting it to a raster image file like JPEG or PNG.

But what is possible (& why vector shapes are so useful) is to change its size and/or rotate it without it becoming blurry or pixelated, as long at it remains in vector form.

With so many customers banging their heads towards this pixels and decimals issue the user interface must be updated to provide some active guidance and support. A user experience designer would have raised the red flag years ago. If Serif had had one. Or had one.

Alternatives: letting customers slip or letting other unpaid customers support red faces customers here.

What do you suggest?
