Retina Screen support. Pixel mapped images on retina enabled devices (rMBP) #295

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Would be nice to have real pixel mapping on the new retina screens.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a photo with an height of 1700 pixels.
2. Notice you will have to scroll a lot up and down, although the pixels would 
well fit on a 1800 pixels high screen like on the new rMBPs.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Non scaled images (like it looks like preview and aperture does)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Xee 2.2 on OSX 10.7.4

No further development is likely to happen on the 2.x branch. Furthermore, I 
don't have the hardware to develop any Retina support on. So not likely to 
happen before 3.0, whenever that is done.

(If you really, really want this, feel free to get me development hardware!)

You don't need a Mac with Retina display to develop or even test an app that 
supports Retina display.

All you need is Mountain Lion. Click System Preferences, click Display, click 
Scaled, and select any resultion that has "(HiDPI)" in its name. That's it. So 
you don't need an actual Retina display to test an app for Retina support.

Use this app to make Xee retina'ed.

I just tried Retinizer, but it does nothing to Xee. Images look the same as 
before "retinization."

does anyone build xee with this patch?

I tried the above patches and it works well.  Here's my build:

Thanks for that Hong, your build worked for me too.

Hong, I could hug you right now.

Usability wise, it now renders an image in retina resolution at 50% zoom.

I think, when the filename contains "@2x" a retina indicator (@2x?) be 
highlighted next to the colour depth, and the current "50% zoom" should be 
"100% zoom" again.

In short: detect @2x in the filename, if it's there: multiply the 
zoom-level-indicator by 2.

I'll try to find someone that can do this - while secretly hoping someone here 
picks this up ;)

This is brillant, thanks a lot!  Only problem seems to be that the crop tool 
(cmd-k) now doesn't work properly since the cursor is mapping to a different 
scale than the display.  In the pic attached, my cursor is in the middle of the 
field on the bottom-right, near where the soccer goalpost is.
I have absolutely no technical skills and can't offer a fix, but would be very 
grateful to anybody who could!
Thanks again to raimue, Hong and the others for their work on this.

There's a 3.0 beta on the download page now. Theoretically, it should support 
Retina, but I have done no testing at all. Could some of you try it out and say 
how it looks?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Thanks.  3.0 look like quite a slick revision of Xee.  Unfortunately it's not 
handling Retina displays correctly yet.  The images are clearly being displayed 
at retina resolution, but the program is only filling in a quarter (or less) of 
the screen when it tried to fit or fill the window.  Screen grab attached to 
show what I mean.

It appears that the program is only mapping to the bottom-left quarter of the 
window, no matter how you zoom.  A couple more images attached to show what I 
mean; this is the same image at 'fit to screen', and zoomed in a couple of 
times.

Right, thanks, I will have to try and get a test setup going so I can fix it.

Ok, made a guess at what was wrong and released another beta. Try it!

Awesome guess!!
Looks like we have lift-off.
Thanks a lot, dude; you made my day.

All right, that looks better. I still need to find a machine to test it so I 
can look really closely and see if the filtering is doing its job right, but 
I'll call this fixed for now.

It's all looking great on retina now.

Thanks for working on x3.

I am not such a big fan of the tv snow storm rendering screen though, bit 
distracting. Could I get the black screen back? 

I had a dig around the package but couldn't find the source img.

Hello, are there any news in Xee and Retina? It would be nice to see Xee using 
Retina at 100 % view instead of 50 %.

Original comment by atari...@gmx.de on 28 Jul 2013 at 1:48

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Xee is always using Retina. The question is what "100%" means. There is no 
option to change this yet, but might be in the future.

Sad to hear Xee2 won't be updated here and there. 
I may be in the minority but Xee3 seems so bloated and slow, compared to Xee. 
The speed and lightness is what I, and I believe other people too, loved at 
Xee2.

Anyway, thank you for developing it and releasing v2 opensource.
