LC 6.5 DP1 Mystery

[Ralph DiMola]

Colin,

Thanks!

I never look at the device DPI. I just look at the card rect. My code
sizes/positions based on the card rect and/or other previously resized/moved
object positions. When I grab a corner in the IDE and change the size
everything dynamically moves/resizes and the aspect ratios(where specified)
are maintained. I position via tables not by the existing IDE layout. If one
changes a control position or size via the IDE, just grab a corner of the
card and move it a bit (or call the main resizing command from the message
box) and everything will snap back to where it "belongs" via the table. It's
a crazy system but has worked for me with any device resolution or aspect
ratio for the past 2 years. As I have said in the past... For me a new
device size or aspect ratio is a non issue just gets a yawn. But I digress.
I'm looking into what's changed to break all this in 6.5. Will update.. Film
at 11.

Thanks again!

I think you may be able to just disable any parts where you look at the
device DPI. Just do things based on the aspect ratio.
