Where should I find results if it works?

Should be right on the picture in a little pop-up box.
When you click on the measure icon, then click on a part, you will
either get a line on an edge or a dot on a vertex. Then clicking on
another feature should show a pop-up box.

ESC will exit the measuring state.

I would give you a screenshot, but when I try, the box goes away.

Maybe try a later dev snapshot.

You need to render it first.

It will, for the time between the click and the new snapshot. Default is
usually 5 seconds but you can select longer or shorter with most screen
captture utils...

Maybe try a later dev snapshot.

Thanks
It is quite useful. I had never used it before
