[Photo v2 size of sub menues differ between 4k and 2k monitors (Windows High DPI settings not available)]

Hi MikeTO

Yes I hope they fix it in the APP version shortly. In the meantime I am waiting für the MSI "EXE" version.

It is not a challenge to implement the delta resolution scaling. Other developers implemented it in their programs a long time ago.

Cheers

[How to add Affinity Photo v2 into NVIDIA systemmanager to use NVIDIA GPU?]

Hi Komatös,

die Performance Einstellungen in den Programmen kenne ich und habe ich auch eingeschalten.
Da die Affinity V1 Programme noch aus MSI "EXE" Dateien bestanden konnte man die GPU Einstellungen und andere OS Spezifikas sehr genau einstellen.

Das funktioniert einwandfrei und die Affinity V1 Programme laden viel schneller als die V2 Programme (ja mir ist bewußt, das in V2 es noch eine Performance-Verbesserungen geben wird).

Ich hoffe, dass die klassischen MSI Installer Versionen bald rauskommen werden.
Ich finde die APP Versionen leider nicht gut und habe leider zu spät bemerkt, dass dies wohl die zukünftige favorisierte Variante von den Entwicklern sein wird.

Wenn dem so ist, dann habt Ihr nach sehr kurzer Zeit leider einen FAN und Käufer wieder verloren.

 

[Photo v2 size of sub menues differ between 4k and 2k monitors (Windows High DPI settings not available)]

Hello Community,

this is an classic problem of the menu and font size if you are using different monitor resolutions.

1st monitor: 4k Notebook display
2nd monitor: 2k 27" monitor

Photo v2 window shown on the 1st screen (4k reslution):
If you want to configure the horizontal Icon row (right click), the sub menu looks OK (see first screenshot)

Photo v2 window shown on the 2nd screen (2k reslution):
Sub menu and fonts are "big"

In the past I have used the Windows compatibility menu and the High DPI settings and every thing was OK (3rd screenshot)
But with Affinity Photo v2 there is no Windows Compatibility menu within the properties settings (right click of the program icon). See 4th screenshot.

 

[How to add Affinity Photo v2 into NVIDIA systemmanager to use NVIDIA GPU?]

Hello,

I'm using the NVIDIA systemsmanager to configure the usage of the GPU for specific programs.
So that only "graphic" specific programs are using the NVIDIA GPU and all the "standard" programs using the Intel CPU built-in GPU.

For example:
PowerPoint should use the NVIDIA GPU and not the Intel CPU built GPU
Lightroom should use NVIDIA GPU
Outlook should use the default GPU settings = Intel CPU built-in GPU
...and so on

But with the new Affinity Photo v2 Version and the MSIX App format I cannot add the AffinityPhoto2.exe.exe (located in the user WindowsApps directory):
C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe

My system: Dell Precision mobile Worksations, Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 German
NVIDIA Quadro M2000M Driver Version 513.63, DirectX Runtime version 12.0

For this NVIDIA configuration I do not need admin rights.
See attached screenshot how it looks like with the Affinity Photo v1 Photo.exe version.

Any thoughts about a workaround?

Best,
Buckaroo
