Hi all,
I just released a new Monkey's Audio that now says it is DPI aware and handles all the DPI scaling by itself instead of letting Windows do it.
I got a high DPI display from work, and it kind of sent me down a wormhole!
I had scale code, but it was detecting 100% even on my new monitor.
So now I use a new Windows API to get the DPI and try to update as you size from monitor to monitor. I added a manifest to the program to say I'm doing the DPI scaling.
The new build is available here:
https://monkeysaudio.com/download.html
It would be great to get any feedback by email, or just here.
Thanks for helping.
I realized the font size wasn't getting set nicely on high DPI for the options dialog.
I'm working on another update and will release it later today.
Cheers.
Updated again:

I just leave extra space in the options dialog for the font to grow the size. It would also be possible to do a separate layout as the font size changes, but I went the easy route :P
Thanks again for any help.
Updated yet again to fix a crash switching monitors while processing:
https://monkeysaudio.com/download.html
Also retooled the Options dialog a little.
Thanks again for any help.
Here's the history so far:
Version 8.03
Fixed: Moving the window between different DPIs while processing could crash as the statusbar was rebuilt.
Changed: Resized the options dialog a little to put items below the text labels instead of to the right.
Version 8.02
Changed: Set the font size in the options dialog to account for high DPI.
Version 8.01
Changed: The program reports itself as DPI aware and does all the DPI scaling independently (instead of leaning on the OS). It should rescale dragging between monitors of different DPI (feedback appreciated).
Updated again.
I got the options dialog to look pretty good even up to 2.0 scale for the DPI. My high DPI monitor is 1.5.
I'll plan to switch this to the main download this week unless I hear otherwise.
Thanks again for any help.
One more update.
Full history:
Version 8.05
Fixed: When Windows doesn't have the new DPI calls, the program nicely defaults to a scale of 1.0 (the call requires Windows 10).
Changed: The high DPI font is set in the file information dialogs as well.
Fixed: The file list was not saving between runs.
Version 8.04
Changed: Options should look good up to a 2.0 scale and the high DPI monitor I have is 1.5.
Version 8.03
Fixed: Moving the window between different DPIs while processing could crash as the statusbar was rebuilt.
Changed: Resized the options dialog a little to put items below the text labels instead of to the right.
Version 8.02
Changed: Set the font size in the options dialog to account for high DPI.
Version 8.01
Changed: The program reports itself as DPI aware and does all the DPI scaling independently (instead of leaning on the OS). It should rescale dragging between monitors of different DPI (<a href="contact.html">feedback</a> appreciated).
Another update.
Version 8.06
Fixed: The font could grow over and over sizing between low and high DPI because the original wasn't stored.
Changed: The scale is loaded on WM_DPICHANGED instead of during size of the window.
Hi,
A quick glance from Windows 10 on a 4K monitor, DELL P2415Q Color Profile, D6500, 200%, 3840 x 2160 (recommended).

Thanks for the feedback.
I've attached a screenshot of the about box on my high DPI display. It seems alright.
I get that things are under maintenance when I click your links, so maybe email me a screen at mail at monkeysaudio.
Thanks again.
It looks like it overflows when the scale is 2x. I'll fix in a bit and upload again. Thanks!
Updated again. Thanks for the help :)
Version 8.07
Fixed: At 2x (or more) scale the about box would be cropped.
Thank you.
I cannot load Monkey's Audio 8.07 (https://monkeysaudio.com/files/MAC_807_x64.exe).
Problem Loading Page
There was a problem loading the selected page. Please use the links at the top of this page to view other Monkey's Audio pages.
Please try again. I had only uploaded the 32-bit build, but my link was to the 64-bit. Thanks again!
Thanks for the help everyone.
Just released the build as my main download:

Still have problem: The Help > About The Monkey's Audio window, is too small for the big credit font. Many texts are too big.

Sorry for that. The maintenance is done, and all files should be accessible.
Should totally size in both directions with the new build:
https://monkeysaudio.com/download.html
Maybe I should feel good if about box problems are my biggest issues! Thanks again :)
Fixed a few more issues and released a new build:
https://monkeysaudio.com/download.html
Thanks again for any help.
I made the footer below the list grow fields as necessary to hold the text. I'll release that eventually (maybe after some more feedback). Thanks.
Just put out the update. Now the statusbar will grow when necessary. Thanks.
Another update to fix statusbar spacing when processing starts.
Thanks.

I like the display of the version 7.81 because the size of the menu and bars are well balanced. Looks like any professional apps.
Well 7.81 isn't DPI aware so Windows does the scaling. Windows does a pretty good job.
I added this to the build I just uploaded so we can see the scale getting chosen for you. My high DPI display is 1.5.
Changed: Added the scale to the about box.
Thanks.

Scale: 2.0
I just released an update the builds the options dialogs totally on the fly instead of using stored things in the resource file. That way they should work well at any scale.

Thanks for the screenshots. They look pretty good.
Next build I'll make this little tweak:
Changed: Made options a little wider and also the list of choices wider to avoid truncation on high DPI.
Cheers.
I've got these changes slated to go out:
Changed: Made the options list a little wider to avoid truncation on high DPI.
Changed: Made output directory level recreation a combobox instead of an edit (since only a few values would be chosen, it seemed unnecessary to allow typing).
Changed: Put the browse directory button right next to the path selection in options instead of below it.
Changed: Put the APL naming help button back to the right of the combobox in Options.
I'll wait to release to see if there are any more suggestions. Thanks again for the help.
Just put another update out. Thanks again.
There were reports that the options dialog looked too wide on regular DPI so I cut another update that adjusts the width using a scaled number (instead of the number just being baked in).
Did one more update today with pretty minor tuning:

Thanks again for all the help.
