v2016.111   Aug 13, 2015

Priority: Med

v2016.111 includes high DPI aware optimizations and a new option to control how files dropped into Qimage Ultimate are handled.

Excellent.  Only one more thing as far as I can see:

At 200% UI, everything is perfect.  Changing to 250% moves the bar with the shortcut icons (does that have a name?) from the top of the window under the menu bar to the bottom of the window where I would normally look for a status window.  Screen clips to illustrate attached.

Oh - and for someone who was concerned about the useability of Photoshop and Lightroom - I can confirm that PS CS6 (v13.0.1)  and LR 6.1 both work flawlessly on this Dell XPS15 (15 inch screen 3480x2088) under windows 8.1.

Thanks.  Got that fixed.  Will release 112 tomorrow with the fix.  Please feel free to browse around at 250% and let me know if you see any more anomalies in places like the image editor, search tool (binoculars above the thumbs), and other areas.  Just post here and I'll take a look.

BTW, that bar you refer to is called the "main tool bar" since you asked.  :)

OK QU-ers.  Already have a few minor touchups ready in 112 so I'll release that tomorrow (8/14).  Unfortunately I can't test all screen and scaling combinations here, so if anyone sees any needed touchups on your display and with your Windows scaling selection(s), please post a screen "snip" of the problem here and I'll try to work it in.

Fixes ready so far in the upcoming release (112):

- Fixed the main toolbar (buttons) moving to the bottom of the main window with 250% scaling
- Fixed the ? icon on Yes/No/Cancel type dialogs overlapping the text on displays with >125% Windows scaling

If you see anything not listed, please let me know.

Thanks,
Mike

v2016.111
regardless of UI size 100% through to 250% the top right buttons (minimise restore close) are always the same size... Big!

(my screen res is here 1440x900 just in case you need to know)

screenshot taken with the UI at 100%

So very glad to see the drop-downs at bottom right of the screen are now larger than microscopic! My aging eyes thank you for that.

Program is showing: "Incisive 2015 skin: 2560x1408, 32-bit, 110 PPI font"

However, my NEC PA271W monitor's native resolution is 2560 x 1440. Don't know what accounts for the vertical discrepancy of 32 pixels. FYI, my Custom DPI setting in Win 7 is 115%. That makes an inch on the screen exactly one inch in length when measured with a ruler. This may be making the the populated text in the drop-downs (and elsewhere) a bit larger than the static field name labels "Mntr ICC", etc. Or maybe it's just my imagination... There's also plenty of real estate to fully spell out "G. Filt." and "P. Filt."

Still wish you would display the paper size selected (e.g. 8.5 x 11) in addition to the addressable size (8.266 x 10.766).
Mike, thanks.

Thanks for the info!  The 32 pixel discrepancy is your Windows taskbar on the bottom of the screen.  QU shows you the size of the "monitor work area" which is basically the area that windows and dialogs expand to when you maximize them.  So the "usable area" is slightly shorter in the vertical because software can't cover up your bottom Windows taskbar.  The font next to the dropdowns is just a slightly different font which accounts for the labels being slightly smaller.  That's normal.

Mike
