Suggestion: Disable "Low Resolution Mode" by Default

[ibehnam]

When using smooth scaling, I noticed the quality of image/text dropped significantly. Turned out I had to uncheck "low resolution mode" in the app settings:

I think it'd be better to leave it off.

Normally low resolution mode activates only when the scaling slider is set to the native resolution (as there is no HiDPI counterpart for that normally). But upon switching to a lower resolution, HiDPI should kick-in again. However if the user switches to Low Res, the scale slider should stick to LoDPI modees. If this is not the case then there is a bug somewhere.

Is there a specific way you can recreate the problem (switching the slider to LoDPI mode) on your system using the scaling slider only?

Thanks!

I tried resetting BD to re-create the problem but nothing happened. I guess the scale has been saved in macOS so even closing BD doesn't change the scale anymore (which is a good thing—with dummy displays, closing BD would change the resolution).

What I did before was just reset the BD settings and follow the tutorial to enable smooth scaling.

Well, if the display was in some (other than the native) LoDPI mode when BD is launched, the scale defaults to LoDPI mode and sticks to it (until it is set to the native res) - maybe that's what was going on. :)

I'll close this one, but if you can reproduce the issue, let me know! Thanks!
