High DPI issue with GUI

[FVGAZI]

I'm assuming this is related to using a 4K monitor and Windows 10.
I have this issue on several other older applications that are no longer being supported.
Given that Filebot is a well-supported piece of software I was wondering if there was a solution to this issue?

This is what the GUI looks like for me after getting a 4K monitor.
Windows 10 64bit
Windows installer

Java 9 is required if you want full high DPI support. Otherwise there's probably some Windows compatibility settings that'll render for 1x and then just scale up the output.

@see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3946#p24517

Installed the developer preview of Java 9.
Didn't seem to fix anything out of the box.
I read that thread you linked, but the user that said it worked for them never replied with how they configured anything.

[FVGAZI]

Rebooted and Filebot threw this at me...

If you can't get it to work Java 9 EA then I'd try the Windows compatibility settings. You'd have to ask Google to force that for individual executables though. Compatibility scaling seems to work for the launcher, so you should be able to force the same for the javaw.exe executable.

[FVGAZI]

I have no clue what you mean by ask Google to force it

Google "windows compatibility" => https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... compatible => "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

I don't use Windows, so I can't tell you which exact button you need to click to get to the windows compatibility settings.

Oh yeah. I tried that eons ago lol! That didn't work either.
My issue now is after installing Java 9 I'm getting the error in the screenshot I posted last.
Filebot needs JRE 1.8.0
In the thread, you had originally linked, a user had said that Java 9 worked for them.
Although there was no follow up by that user as to the steps they took to make it work.

FileBot needs Java 8 or higher. So Java 9 should just work. Are you using the latest version of FileBot?

[FVGAZI]

Yes, the portable

[FVGAZI]

Looks perfect if I use the filebot.cmd!
But Not the .exe

[FVGAZI]

The .exe continues to throw the JRE 1.8.0 error

[rednoah]

I was under the assumption that you're using the MSI installer. Have you tried the installer?

EDIT:

Nevermind, the launcher doesn't handle Java 9 correctly:

[FVGAZI]

Sorry. I was. I have been trying stuff between our exchanges.
I had been using the installer(latest version) forever. After I installed Java 9 Filebot gave me the JRE 1.8.0 error.
So I uninstalled Filebot and went to reinstall, but was redirected to the Windows store.
So I grabbed the portable.
If you help me figure this out I will gladly purchase the app.

[FVGAZI]

Java 9 doesn't seem to help uTorrent 2.2.1 or my Lorex camera app.

Good thinking trying filebot.cmd from the portable. I guess you're stuck with that one for now on high DPI setups.

Once launch4j supports Java 9 so will FileBot. The Windows Store version won't be able to bundle Java 9 and support High DPI until the official release sometime next September.

Running Java 9 will only fix apps that are built on Java Swing.

[FVGAZI]

Cool.
I should buy it now anyway since it's $10 and well worth it!
Thanks for being so responsive and understanding.

You're welcome. Please leave a nice review.

FileBot 4.7.19 is now available in the Microsoft Store and bundled with JDK 9 for proper HiDPI support on Windows 10.
