Minimal Target Device Window on 4K (high DPI) display on component properties -> connections

Hi

The tittle says it all.

(at least) with 4K monitors, the details of Target Device Window to choose pin connections from (component properties -> connections),
are barely visible and, it cannot be scaled or zoomed .

It is so small we can not see the pins to select.

See for yourself on this screenshot.




Thanks in advance for the eventual correction.

Thanks for the post. I will look at adding scalability to this (the diagram is the same as the one drawn in the "target device" window, which can be zoomed using the mouse wheel).

A workaround for now is to use the drop-downs at the top of the chip view to select the pin.

Hi...

Just to have an idea:

Do you have any time preview when will this change take place ?

thanks in advance,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

We currently have no plans for another v9 release, so this fix is unlikely to be done until v10 is released. It is far too early to say when v10 will be released at this stage.

Hello Miguel,

What about for now changing the Windows DPI setting when you're using Flowcode.

I also have a 4K monitor and at 100% DPI there are a lot of things other then Flowcode that are too small to read comfortably so I usually use 120% to 150% DPI and this improves things a lot while still allowing for a lot of screen real estate.
