„hidpi“ checkbox is missing in preferences

Post by stoltenberg »

I am currently struggling with a quirky problem that I have not found via google:
the „hidpi“ checkbox is just missing in my preferences – what am I doing wrong?
it's the current version for the mac and a fresh install. any idea?

There is no rule which prevents you from attaching screenshots locally. Crop and scale so that they are below 128KB. PNG format is preferred, then JPG.

Also, I'm not aware of a "HiDPI" setting, so please give me some kind of reference to where you saw that setting described in the manual?

If you want to find your "HiDPI" option, you need to go back to something less than 6.0.0. It's gone...
