Imageglass: Incorrect HiDPI scaling under Windows 8.1 and Windows 10

[Maia-Everett]

If ImageGlass is run under Windows 8.1 or 10 with the scaling factor set to something other than the default 100% (I use 125%), the fonts are blurred. The workaround is to disable DPI scaling in application compatibility properties, but it would be nice if the application worked correctly out of the box.

Can you capture your screen? plz!

[Maia-Everett]

Default DPI scaling (blurry bug)

DPI scaling disabled in .exe compatibility settings (no blurry bug)

[d2phap]

Fixed!

I have same problem at v 3.2.0.16 in Windows 10.

[Maia-Everett]

That's a different problem, though. It's caused by form layout being fixed and not scaling to font size properly.

[d2phap]

The issue is at 200% HDPI. It works on 4K monitors (at 200%) but some of the buttons and settings are hard to work with.
Currently, it supports High DPI at 125%

Having the same issue like woneob in v3.5.9.17 (win10x64) @ 150% scaling.

Would also like to add that this is what I see at 150% scaling on a 2880x1620 screen. :)

Hi!

Please help me test this issue by downloading and running the ImageGlass.exe in the below link:

Thanks

It looks good for now in regard to 4K-display. Options in settings page get well displayed.
But icons on the toolbar are too tiny and hard to identify.

Hi @binhnguyenvo

Thanks for the screen shot.
The icons of toolbar will be updated in the final release accordingly.

Hi @d2phap, nice work! :)

150% scaling on a 2880x1620 screen, Windows 10 (I left the taskbar out of the print):

Looks perfectly fine now. Icons are still small, but you already mentioned that it will be fixed, so great. Thanks!

The update does fixed the issue for me too! Though, I don't know if it's related to how I updated the plugin (extracted the archive to the program folder), but when I open an image (whatever image) I get the following error:

ImageGlass cannot open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, or corrupted.

Cannot run this version.
It hangs my explorer. Also tried to run it from the command line - still no luck (also hanged! Very strange).

[bluemoehre]

Looks fine so far. Only the thumb bar seems to be a little small. I tried to scale it via settings, but it did only enlarge the panel, not the images.

[d2phap]

Hi @bluemoehre

Are you able to change the thumbnail dimension in Settings dialog?
You need to restart the app to apply your changes.

Hi @nZeus, @r-michel
Is there any error message?
What is your .NET framework version. It should be 4.0 or later.

Thanks for your screen shots.

[bluemoehre]

@d2phap sorry, was on travel for a while. Could not download that build for testing (404).

[d2phap]

Hi,

New version is better. And it's not crashing.
But toolbar icons are toooo small.
See the screenshot:

Kind regards, Ilia

Hi @nZeus

Which OS Build of Windows 10 are you using?
Because Microsoft is changing the DPI after the build 14393.

Updated:
The latest build to fix small toolbar.

@d2phap settings looks fine now (I like the additional space within the settings a lot - looks much more structured). Thumbnails are fine too. The toolbar buttons are now in a good size (the icons themselves are still not scaled)

[d2phap]

Thanks @bluemoehre
The build b3.5.9.22 also comes with SVG icon set for DPI scaling support but it is still in-progress. :)

[d2phap]

HiDPI Scaling is fully supported.
You can try the early version here: http://www.imageglass.org/moon
