1.9.2: Fractional scaling under Linux/Wayland produces wrong image size
Posted: Sun Jun 29, 2025 2:05 pm
XnView: MP 1.9.2 - 64-bit
OS: Fedora 42 with KDE on Wayland
I've found 2 problems with fractional scaling under Linux/Wayland on both KDE and Gnome (same behavior).
"Scale on HiDPI screen: 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel" is checked.
First problem:
View->Auto zoom = "Fit image to desktop" stops setting correct image size as soon as I set scaling other than 100%.
On 100%scale.jpg you can see no problem with initial startup image size. The size is also what Gwenview shows as 100%.
On 125%scale startup.jpg you can see that initial image size is wrong.
Second problem:
Even if I ignore initial image size and resize the image manually to see 100% the size is not the same as in Gwenview.
125%scale 100zoom.jpg shows how 100% zoom looks like in XnView vs 100% zoom in Gwenview.
