Wow, my respects for a great job. It works perfectly on 4K monitor with
highest resolution. I didn't find any errors during the first tests.
Thank you very much.

A very, very, very large number of lines - about 15,500 insertions and
deletions - was checked into GIT for Cinelerra-GG in order to provide
scaling for your 4K monitors or any monitor where you would like the
text and icons to be just a little bigger or a lot bigger.
If you just bring up Cinelerra with this latest code, you may see a
little bit of a difference because now the code probes your monitor;
finds the biggest monitor if more than 1; and adjusts the scale as if
it was on an 1080p monitor. You can override this, however.
Now to get the bigger text/fonts before you start the application from
a window, you should keyin:
BC_SCALE=2.0 {your cinelerra path}/bin/cin
We found that on a 4K monitor, a BC_SCALE of 2.0 is quite nice. On a
1K monitor, a BC_SCALE=1.2 looks pretty good. Eventually a Preference
may be added but you can always put the BC_SCALE in your login
.profile file.
TESTING is needed and very much appreciated, although we have gone
through a lot to test here on a desktop with a 4K monitor, a 1K
monitor, and a laptop (even tried using BC_SCALE=.5 ! which was
hilarious!). There is a Ubuntu16 build & a Mint18 build and would
love to do more static tar builds to get more distros tested (just ask).

HOW TO TEST - you do not need to do anything specific to test as a
user - just "use" it and pass along any alignment you think looks
wrong. Hoping *Pierre* and *IgorB* have time to do this.
WHAT TO TEST - there should be no operational impact of this mod,
unless we made a mistake. You should only see bigger windows, text,
and icons and more spacing between them. Hoping *Olaf *will let us
know if Cakewalk has any issues.
PLUGINS - these are the most likely to have any issues and could
potentially have a "real" error. This is because I (Phyllis) worked
on them with GG overseeing my work and fixing my errors. Hoping
*Andrea* has some spare time to check a few of the plugins. Be aware
that LV2 plugin displays will not be scaled up as they are outside
Cinelerra. FFmpeg and Ladspa plugins had no mods made to them but the
resize window is available and the text is scaled.
