Hello! I am getting an error, procedure entry point setprocessdpiawarenesscontext could not be located in the dynamic link library C:Users\Hermitmark\AppData\Roaming\Reaper\userplugins\fx\realearn-x64.dll I am on Windows 8 and have current 6.73 Reaper installed. Sorry to post this here, but it seems like I am the only one getting this error. maybe someone will see this and know what to do... I have been looking thru the reaper forum and reading for hours. This seemed like the kind of midi program that I would really like. Thanks for creating tools for Reaper, which I really love. -

baseview uses SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext and GetDpiForWindow, which are both Windows 10 only. We might not need SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext because this is REAPER's responsibility. But GetDpiForWindow is something we want to use if it's available. A fallback to 96dpi is probably reasonable. In order to load it conditionally, we would need to mess with GetProcAddress. Anyway, it needs modification of baseview.

I think this fixes it. We will know for sure on upcoming prerelease ;)
