Mac Standalone app: Window is too high for 13" screen

BlackFoundry opened this issue · comments

The bottom of the window with the "Slice" button are not visible thus not clickable (going beyond 1600px height)

Ack! I'm not sure if this is due to a newbie error in the GUI area or just a shortcoming of Qt5 layout. But I think that we can address it. The entire GUI layout is gen'd programmatically at launch time and I have the ability to detect screen dimensions. I don't have a 13" device. Are you available to help me test changes that set app dimensions according to view dimensions?

Yes sure can do :)

Able to run from source with the dev instructions or better if I build an Apple app bundle for you?

Mind posting a screenshot that shows how much of the app window is out of view?

Let's see if this works. I eliminated the entire logo and app name view at smaller screen dimensions.

I pushed an installer to:

This will show up as v0.6.1 of the application and was built @ 809ae24

Everything fits now 👍

I will prep a release that includes the changes here and close this issue when it is available. Is there any room for smaller app title text at the head of the application? How much space do we have with that layout?

but then there's the Doc below that can be over the bottom of the window too, depending on its size

Probably best to leave as is. Thanks for reporting this and for having a look Jeremie! I will get a new release out with this fix.

Released in v0.6.1. Thanks again Jeremie!
