Comment:
I can not reproduce this. My suspicion is that you had the zoom mode set,
and this overrides the normal aspect ratio. All of my gallery pictures
work fine for me, whether 4:3, 5:4, 16:9... all on a 16:9 display.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
It is not a zoom issue. Pressing "7" produces "0.5x Zoom" with an image
which does not fill the screen. Pressing "9" gives "1.5x Zoom" and an
even larger image.
This may well be a configuration or hardware issue but whatever it is,
the way it worked changed between 0.25rc and 0.25 release. It remains
the same in 0.25.1. My images are mostly camera JPEG's at 3288x2458.
This is slightly different from a 5:4 monitor. In 0.25rc and earlier
versions, the images were sized to the vertical dimension of the screen
with black bars at the sides so that the entire image was displayed at
the correct aspect ratio. With 0.25 release and 0.25.1, the image is
sized to the width of the screen and positioned at the top of the screen
so that any excess height of the image is cropped off at the bottom of
the screen. When displayed on a 1280x1024 monitor, only a small sliver
is cropped off at the bottom. On a 1280x768 monitor, a large part of
the image is copped off at the bottom so that it is generally unviewable.
My "Appearance" settings are basically default. The GUI size values are
all set to zeros and the mode boxes are all unchecked. This gives
full-screen images without borders which is what I want. The theme is
"MythCenter-wide 1.6". The menu displays and video playback are all
good. There are configuration parameters scattered all over the menu
system and I may well have missed something.
I have a two-monitor setup with the screens running separately. A
1280x1024 monitor runs the desktop from a VGA connection. A TV set runs
at 1280x768 from an HDMI port. I use a small script to set the DISPLAY
variable so that Myth comes up on the TV set but I can run it on the
control monitor as well and I sometimes do so for scheduling and setup
operations. MythGallery displays the same behavior on both monitors. The
system has an nVidia 8200 chip using the nVidia proprietary driver.
If there are other configuration options which might be relevant, I
would like to know about them.
