wrong screen zoom

Post by qwertyuiop »

My screen resolution is 1440*900, but when I take a screen capture (with the setting "Capture all desktop"), I get 960*600 picture (top left corner of the screen, so the right and lower parts of the screen are truncated out).

Also, in the viewer, pictures with 100% scale are shown actually 150% (so 960*600 takes full screen).

Maybe that is somehow related to the fact that I have set enlarged font etc in my Windows (dpi scale 150%).

// Single monitor, Windows 7 x64, GeForce GTX 550Ti. XnView 23 oct 2012.

When I choose 'rectangle' and press a hotkey for screen capture, my screen gets instantly resized, so I see only left-upper part (960*600), that is now stretched to all the screen space.
After I select the rectangle and screenshot is taken (it appears 960*600), the screen gets back to 1440*900.

PS. Win 7 SP1 x64, NVidia driver 306. Now I'll set up the latest driver (310) and tell you if the bug will disappear.
PPS. No, with last drivers it's the same.

The system screen capture works as it should, giving full size pic (1440*900).

I just found that "Properties" of the exe have an option "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" (in "Compatibility" tab). After I checkbox it then the problem is gone. (And I don't really need XnView enlarged anyway).
Seems that something wrong with MS scaling function.
In case you still need my e-mail, it's q21 at bk.ru
