Retina Support
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2014 9:49 pm
Hi all,
First - LOVE that there is a simple installer for CloudCompare! Thanks, Andy! Homebrew would be my next choice, but this is great!
Second - I know it's probably a considerable amount of work to support Retina displays (upgrading assets, etc.). But it is really easy to at least get the text and much of the interface to display properly - you just need to edit the info.plist file and add a few lines. I've tried it on my machine (MacBook Pro 15, Late 2013) and it works great.
In the current version (2.5.4), I inserted in /Applications/CloudCompare.app/Contents/Info.plist
after line 4:
For some reason, I had to make a copy of the .app folder for this to take effect - I suspect some caching of the .app folder is going on. I ended up renaming it back to CloudCompare and it still worked.
It would be great if this was rolled into future Mac OS X builds.
