Hello Peter -
Scaling is tempting, but problematic.
Automating that with the stack's scaleFactor would be quick, but will
scale everything, even controls the user needs to interact with. If the
default size is good will they be usable at a smaller size? will text be
readable?
Hand-coding a
After i sent my post I wondered if perhaps there were unseen gremlins in the
script.
I copied it out and pasted into BBEDIT and "Zap(ped) gremlins" (one of my
favourite BBEDT commands).
Pasted the zapped script back into LC and everything was back in sync.
How I ended up with some unseen
The following is only one opinion of many possible.
First, you should consider automatic scaling only with a very restricted amount
of cases. These are for example sort of games, where the "playing field" is
the better the larger it is, and the icons / images and their relative
positions or
I have been modifying one of my utility apps and have hit a strange glitch.
While trying to debug the script I find the visual feedback of where I am in
the script to be out of sync by, it appears, 4 lines.
For those interested in how this looks I have uploaded a video of same.

Thanks, Brian. With your stats we now have our first anomaly, between
the two platforms:
The iOS math checks out in terms of the reported logical metrics
matching the physical pixels per the pixel density.
But when we compare the iPhone 5.5" screen with the LG Stylo 5.5"
screen, LiveCode
Ignore my last post. Garbage. I had overlooked a rather obvious fact
of screen manufacturing: each method will have slight variance in terms
of absolute PPI, resulting in variance not only in physical pixelDensity
differences but in how accurately the OS will bother to account for them
