MW4 presents itself as a small window only

[pieterkoolen]

Yesterday evening mw4 showed itself in a normal format which I could minimize/maximize on screen.
Tonight only a small window appeared. Restarting my PC did not bring any improvement.
I use an Eagle4 Pro under Windows 10.
No changes were made since last night.
What to do?

Hi Pieter,
does the screenshot show the small window or the window you normally expected.
Did you change DPI High definition scaling on windows itself since the last start ?
If so, in the windows run script there are entries for font and dpi scaling, which could change the appearance if windows setting changed. This are the last lines:

SET QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 >> run.log 2>&1
SET QT_FONT_DPI=96 >> run.log 2>&1

Hi Michael. This is the small window. Before the window was much bigger. I did not change anything. The day before the window was big when I switched off. Turning on next day small. Regards Pieter Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone

Hi Michael, With some help from Nicolas I changed the scale factor to 2. Problem solved. However it is still a little weird. When I now minimize the window it does not minimize however jumps to the right upper corner of the screen. But that is not a problem. Thx Pieter Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad

Hi Pieter,
good to hear that you found a good setup. The jump is somehow wired. If you don't mind, please post your config file (*.cfg) here. I try to check this if I see the jump, too.

Sorry,
if you just put it in the reply, it won't reach me. You have to drop it in the web interface...

[pieterkoolen]

I dropped it in my repository.
Hope it works.
This is quite new technology for me

Hi Pieter,
yes worked. Even simpler, you could drop it in this issue (will work as well).
So there is one topic I found which I will address in future from release 3.0 on, but not in the current 2.x:
When closing, MW4 stores the window positions for the next run regardless of the positions themself. In your config I saw some negative value, which indicate that you moved the main window a little bit left and top out of the screen for some pixels.
When opening MW4, it will set the windows position to the same values, which in windows does not really work. Also other platform like linux and Mac I've seen behave different.
As result some wired things happen.
In future I will limit the screen positions to the visible screen and move them accordingly so that the window managers don't see any negative or too large number.
Michel

thx

On windows, HDPI scaling is a strange thing. Apps support it or not. And the implementation of supporting it might differ as well. But did you enable HDPI features on your eagle since the last correct ( meaning large window) start ?
