4x3 cropping sizes always 1600px and 1200px???

When cropping, Capture One Pro (11), shows a label with what looks like it is the linear dimensions in pixels of the cropped photo.

However, when cropping constrained to 4x3, those dimensions are always 1600px and 1200px, even though my originals are 7952x5304, and they stay that way whatever small my crop is relative to my originals.

I suspect I missed something here: can I have those labels contain something else, such has the actuel number of pixels of the crop given my original's resolution?

Because always showing 1600px and 1200px doesn't strike me as very useful.

And "px" means "pixels", right? Any other units available?

  OK I found it, but this raises new questions.
  
  The answer to my own question above is that the labels content depend on the current output recipe as defined in the output "cogwheel" pane on the left side, and more precisely the "scale" setting.
  
  In my case the scale setting was set to "long edge, 1600px".
  
  But:
  
  I now set it to "fix 100%", and now the labels switch to inches. Why? I am using metrics units, and my OS (macOS 10.13.6) is set so. Also, I might want to see that in pixels now, but couldn't find a way.
  
  Is there one?

  Go to the Crop tool and you can change from in to px, cm, or mm.
  
  It is kind of odd, but only when you have an output recipe with the scale set to fixed will you find the setting for the labels in px, in, cm, mm over in the crop tool. When the scale is set to anything else that setting is right there in the Process Recipe.

  Are you on the latest version of Capture One (11.2.1)? There was an issue a couple of releases back which meant that the crop kept reverting to inches, and a later update cured it.
