RouteConverter 3.0 not recognising screen resolution

[hillsidebeer]

Hi,

I've just upgraded to RouteConverter 3.0 (from v2.34). This works fine on my Microsoft Surface Pro (Win 11), but if I have an external monitor connected the Position List is in a very large font such that to view the waypoint data I need to expand the window to the extent that it obscures the map (     ). The Options dialogue is similarly affected. Is there an option anywhere to change this behaviour?

Thanks,
Andy Phillips

Hi Andy,

your screenshot shows that all places are affected, where the default font and size from the Java implementation is used. I don't think that RouteConverter is the right place to fix this.

Are you using the Windows text scaling feature and set it to 175% or 200%?

Yes, the laptop screen is 2736 x 1824 and I've set its text scaling to the recommended 200%, otherwise the text and icons are too small to see. The scaling on the external monitor (1920 x 1200) is set to 100%. Most applications (including RouteConverter 2.34) scale to fit either screen and the fonts look fine. However, RC v3.0 has larger fonts when started on the external monitor, although I can start it on the laptop screen first and then view it on the external screen (which is a workaround I can cope with).

Note that I've found RouteConverter to be really useful and it's been my go-to app for viewing, creating and editing gpx files for many years, so thanks for your efforts!

Cheers, Andy

Hi Andy,

it seems that's a bug between Java 8 and 11 that persists in 17:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8272707

Not much which I could do about it.

I'm happy to read that :-)
