XMetaL 6 doesn’t utilize full-HD?
January 18, 2011 at 1:52 pmParticipants 5Replies 6Last Activity 12 years, 2 months agoHi!
I'm currently evaluating XMetaL 6 with DITA on Windows 7.
However, it does not seem to be possible to maximize the content tabs to the full capacity of my 1920×1200 monitor (see attached screenshot). Or is there some yet unknown setting I have to make?Thanks in advance!

January 18, 2011 at 7:41 pmUnfortunately I don't have any hardware handy that will let me go to this resolution to confirm myself, but a limitation like this is logged in our list of issues to look into along with a few other things related to display (the others are specific to multiple monitor configurations).

January 19, 2011 at 7:18 amWell, maybe you can now convince your CTO to go for decent 30″ screens, just to make sure?
But seriously: Yes, it's an additional monitor attached to a notebook (native 1280×800). As I have no HDMI yet, the monitor is connected via an USB->DVI link, but I've also tried it with a VGA connection with the same result.
And you were right with the multi-monitor issue: When I make this screen the primary one, all works well on _both_ displays. Maybe this helps your developers locate the problem?
Greetings

February 17, 2011 at 9:12 pmIt is on the list of things to look at but at this time I can't say if a fix will make it into any specific release.

I used my own money to buy three 30″ monitors – XMetaL (4, 5.5, and 6) will use all three monitors; an individual file will not expand beyond the dimensions of the primary monitor but the space can easily be filled by a few (or a few dozen) topics.
Due to the bug of a topic not expanding beyond the dimensions of the primary display I set up my laptop to use the external 30″ monitor as primary when it's connected.
