Bridge on a windows 8.1 hi DPI display (3200x1800), can I scale the UI?

Hello, lightroom seems to be fine scaling the UI on my hidpi laptop display, however Bridge is essentially unusable sadly.  Hopefully I just have not found the setting?  Can anyone help?

I have this issue too.  Windows 8.1, and my new monitor is a Dell UP2414Q, which is 3840 x 2160 on only a 23.8" monitor so it's a very very tight pixel pitch / small pixel size.  This makes the problem quite severe -- I find Bridge essentially impossible to use in this condition.  Scaling through Windows settings does not help with this product, just as it does not help with Photoshop.  Oddly, Lightroom does not have the problem.  Apparently the Lightroom team took a different programming strategy from the beginning and did not run into some of the Windows API compatibility issues that Photoshop and Bridge did.
Over in the Photoshop community forum, users have been complaining bitterly about this for over a year.  Fixes are forthcoming but it's been a very long time.  The temporary fix in Photoshop is to go into Experimental Settings and check the box for a simple, on-or-off, 200% scaling of the user interface.  There is no range of choice, only the 200% option or nothing.  And this temporary workaround has a pretty major side effect: PS tool windows that you put on other (lower DPI) monitors will be huge. I
Unfortunately Bridge does not seem to have received the same temporary workaround.  I cannot use it until this is solved.
4K displays are accelerating in sales very rapidly... Adobe will be facing a mass exodus of CC users if more heat is not applied to the scaling issues.  It doesn't matter if the ultimate fault rests with Microsoft and Windows.  The majority of software companies have managed to get their apps out for Windows 8 and 8.1 without crippling hi-DPI usage.

    AppleWorks is not legally available for download. You would need to buy a copy. HardcoreMac.com still lists AppleWorks 6 on their website. You could also try eBay but you would need to make sure it is AppleWorks 6.2 or newer to install on OS X.

    iPhone contacts: file transfer to Windows 7 via USB-cable
    My iPhone can communicate with the computer only via USB-cable (no mobile data, no bluetooth, no internet, no outlook). As I want to get the phone to the "doctor" I want to save specifically my contact data and calendar details on the computer (OS: Windows 7). How can I solve this task? I will appreciate your valuable information, thanks.

    Using the iPhone, the USB cable, iTunes and Windows Contacts, sync the iPhone contacts to Windows Contacts. That will save them there. They are also included in the iPhone backup made in iTunes, and if you use iCloud.
    I'm sorry, I missed the calendar part the first time I looked. For calendar, you need a supported application on the computer (Outlook) or if you use iCloud, you can use the iCloud contacts and calendar app to sync.

  • Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

    I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
    when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
    In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
    I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
    It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
    Only solution I found is turn off
    "Turn on fast start-up".
    When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
    But it'll make my boot time longer.
    It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
    So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
    Best regards

    Thank you for reply.
    I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
    In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
    So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
    suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
    And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
    Here is an example.

  • My iPod was made on Windows, now I have a Mac and can't access the music on the iPod to carry over to new iTunes. What to do?

    I am unsure whether it can be reformatted? On the summary when I plug in the ipod (pretty sure it's a nano 4th gen) it shows the format as Windows. However now I have a Mac, I can't access the music library on the ipod, and I'm not game to try 'export' as I don't know what it will do, and I won't sync as I will lose that music library. I am thinking of making an appointment to see the Apple staff at the shop but I'm not sure if I will need to get a new ipod in the end??

  • I cannot view clips on the viewer window - as it appears black, However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.

    Hello!
    I cannot view any of the clips (not from event browser nor from timeline) on the viewer window - as it appears black/or blank/ or static ! However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.
    P.S I have chosen the filter: ALL
    Please help me with that I'm getting desperate ! I need to finish a project within one week :(
    A million thanks in advance

    Hi F. Carl
    The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
    I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
    The issue is:
    I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
    Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

  • After upgrading to FireFox 7 on Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, I can't load the games in Google Plus.

    Long time user of Firefox, but recently I've been having problem. After upgrading to FireFox 7 on my laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), none of the game in Google+ will load. One game pop up a screen saying cookie acceptance is disabled even though it is enabled. One game just won't load at all, but will not give any error message. I installed Adobe Flash as well, still not working. Previous version of firefox works fine without a problem. Also, I recently reinstall Windows and fresh copy of Firefox 7, still the same problem.

  • I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

    How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

    Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
    Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
    I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.

  • Do you have to get a full windows disc to install on mac or can you download the full windows with a product key?

    Well I've been trying to find a full installment of Windows 7 32/64 bit Ultimate/Home Edition/Professional but I can't find a disc. So basically I'm asking can I just download Windows 7 from the internet with the product key or do I HAVE TO get a disc and install it through Bootcamp?

    I don't know if you can legally download a full Windows 7 installer, but if you can find one, you just need to copy the image to a flash drive. See:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4087200?start=0&tstart=0
    Amazon has several different versions of Windows 7 available on disk, though. Have you tried them?
