Hi there,

I've been using Purr Data and with my new Laptop I find the default zoom level too small. It's possible to zoom in and out via the View item in the menu bar, but it is annoying to zoom in with each new window that is opened, My question:

Is there a possibility to set a default zoom level for all windows that are opened? There is nothing in the preferences, but maybe a kind of config file entry?

My system:

• Purr Data 2.20.1 installed via flatpak
• Ubuntu Studio 26.04

Thank you in advance!

I've just been round the bend with app zoom levels (xubuntu with Ubuntu Studio packages). XFCE does have a global zoom setting but most apps ignore it so I had to set environment variables. One was QT_SCALE_FACTOR; this worked for most of them. A bit of a saga, but worth it.

I don't know which graphics toolkit Purr Data uses, so a Qt variable might not make a difference.

At least my experience might comfort you that you haven't missed something obvious; it's rather that HiDPI support in Linux is not quite ripe yet.
