Marco,

  You've touched on a very interesting question here. I believe it goes beyond what is displayed and into how the program works. You can change the read-out alright, but the adjustments still work in discrete intervals of +1 from 0 to 255, which implies that every tweak of a curve in "16-bit" mode (say using one of the keyboard arrows) is actually moving the value roughly by 32768/255 = about 128 levels at a time, or 0.39%. Maybe it's just a bit "anal", but I've often come across situations where I would have liked to adjust a curve to a value between a pair of tweaks.

Unfortunately, though, there is still no way to show *decimal* values in
0-255 or 0-100 notation, though it could be done very easily by the program
using the least uncomplicated of equations (a simple division).

It's one of those things whose unjustifiable absence leaves one wondering
what could be the reason why it's not being offered quite yet.
