Re: [Cin] 15, 500 modified lines checked into GIT to provide 1K and 4K monitor scaling ...
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.

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.

Re: [Cin] 15, 500 modified lines checked into GIT to provide 1K and 4K monitor scaling ...
Great job. In my opinion it was the biggest lack of CinGG, because those who approached it with a 4k monitor, ran away immediately, without giving a second chance. GG/Phyllis, thank you very much for this huge job (15 000 lines of code!). My tests are not very indicative because I still have the 15.6' 1080p laptop. However, with BC_SCALE=1.2 I have not found the slightest defect. The windows remain tidy, readable and without overlaps. For me the scaling is perfect. I have examined most of the plugins without problems, including many UI of the Calf plugins. In some plugins, especially Ladspa, there is an abundance of empty space on the right or bottom. See the images: https://postimg.cc/8JWsnDz8 https://postimg.cc/fSNyGFVV But they're not a problem at all for me. Also because I do not remember if they have always been so. With BC_SCALE=2 I get an inadmissible screen. See: https://postimg.cc/rRNsMJ4Q So I didn't do many tests: in Blue Banana the right edge is slightly cut: https://postimg.cc/R32NRq9Q But I think it's because my monitor can't hold all the window and it cuts it. However, the order and lack of overlap indicate that the scaling works perfectly. An idea, in order not to force users to use the command line, could be to insert the scaling choice in a drop-down menu in "Settings --> Preferences". Is this possible? Again, my compliments and thanks. -- Cin mailing list Cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin

Yeah, on 1440x900 monitor BC_SCALE=1 cin returns normal for me fonts :}
Thanks a lot!

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.
