The text frame text inset scale needs to be changed

[kanihoncho]

The text frame text inset scale needs to be changed. Right now when you click the arrow to set the inset, the scale is in inches. This is way too high. The scale should be set in decimal inches (.1, .2, .3 etc). I have never used text insets based on inches in my 25+ year career.  I have used mostly .125 to .25 of an inch. I could set that feature measured in inches would be very useful in Designer as I work at full scale and perhaps also in Photo.
