DAM KB: App Panel Scaling

IMatch apps are designed to be responsive and adapt to the current screen resolution. But sometimes this may not be enough, for example, when you want to use very small App Panels to maximize the screen estate available for other panels or File Windows. Maybe you use IMatch on a small tablet or notebook while on-location and every pixel of screen estate counts.

To change the app panel scaling factor, go to Edit > Preferences > Application and search for scale:

Using the Apply button allows you to see the change in all open App Panels immediately. The App Panel on the left uses a scale factor of 0 (default). As you can see, the buttons in the panel need to wrap because the panel width is too small to display them in one row. By reducing the scale factor to -3, the data and control elements fit neatly in the available panel.
