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

[Buckaroo]

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.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I know I've seen others report this but I can't find the threads just now. So hopefully this is on Serif's list to be fixed in a future update.

Cheers

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.

Hi @Buckaroo Apologies on the late reply,

As the MSI installers are now available for V2 (Link to thread below) you could try changing the High DPI settings in the app shortcut's compatibility menu after installing the .MSI apps as you did in V1.
