Suggestion: Multiple screen support

    I have a two display setup. My primary display being too small for the x2 scaling of TPT but my secondary display is more than big enough.

     

    I would find it incredibly useful if TPT will do its resolution checks and functions based on the screen it is on, so if you ask for it to go full screen on the secondary display then it will. And if you ask for x2 scaling and it is on a display big enough, then it will rather than saying your display is too small because your primary one is.

     

    This probably doesnt affect many people, but it is annoying for me :(

    You could just move the powder screen to the second screen if you want it to fullscreen there, right? (Not sure though :O)

    I think I heard someone talking about changing the too small message to have a 'Do it anyway' button to force x2 scale, which would fix all these issues.

    My original idea before a check was added was to change it, then make them click a button on the bottom of the screen to confirm their screen was large enough, or else it would just switch back in a few seconds.

    No it does not work, TPT uses the primary display for its display checks. Even when it is on another display.

    Idealy that is the fix im looking for, human knows better

     

     

    Also would there be a way to scale the output to a desired size? My smaller screen is 1360x768 (By choice), could something be put in to scale the output surface to the size of the screen when in fullscreen mode? I know it will look stretched but it will be better than the 1x view I get at the moment.

    Scaling is something that should be available in the C++ version that is coming "soon".

    I'm not sure, but using the -scale:2 command line option might force it into x2.

    -scale:2 also doesn't work, the check for screen size is done anyway,
