Default window size too small on UHD displays

[tomutal]

Hi there,

I just installed TC on my new IdeaPad Y50-70 with UHD display. On first run the tabs in the file list views were all messed-up but after first resize they were saved and now look OK on subsequent restarts. However, one annoying problem is that the window size is always reset on app start, starting as a small unusable window.

You may want to have a look and provide a fix for this in the next version ...

Awesome, thanks. The old posts I found while searching indicating that there's no such option. Probably was added later. Problem solved.

Or rather, problem workaround-ed The size of the window on start should be reviewed for a better user experience.

Unfortunately I don't have a UHD screen yet. As far as I understood it TCs behavior for high res screens is called high dpi support. So it's based on the dpi setting in Windows. If you have set this value to 150% or more (144pi or more) TC scales certain things properly and uses high res assets.
I don't know if there is a changed default for the main windows size.

There is also a setting to alter TCs behavior: OverrideDPI. Unfortunately I couldn't find a thorough documentation on this. Maybe someone else knows more?

Windows has an option to disable DPI scaling for its own desktop elements. I turned that off so that I take advantage of the native resolution. Not sure if that impacts the apps as well, TC in particular.

This option is there since the very first versions of Total Commander
so its in no change history.
