renaming template selection window unusably small
SUMMARY
When using the DigiKam 8.3.0 AppImage on a laptop with a high DPI screen, many
windows and UI elements are so small as to be near-unusable by default. Some of
these (window sizes) can be mitigated by the user by resizing them, but in many
cases this must be done every single time the window is opened. Other
non-resizable UI elements cannot be mitigated like this.
These occur regardless of whether the “use high DPI scaling from the screen
factor” setting is enabled, and regardless of the application font size (in my
case Noto Sans at 12). Adjusting the app’s QT Scale Factor (e.g. to 1.5 or 2)
via an environment variable in the .desktop file results in everything being
much too large.
The UI is correctly scaled in non-AppImage versions, but I ended up needing to
use AppImage digiKam to get access to a newer version than the packaged version
available on current kubuntu.
