With IrfanView 4.44 x64, the full screen fit-to-screen options don't work on my secondary monitor (TV). The image is too large to be fully displayed. The options work on the primary monitor, so maybe IrfanView is getting the size from that monitor regardless of where it is displayed. The full screen fit-to-screen options worked correctly on my secondary monitor in version 4.36 x86.

I have the same problem with the Windows Store app v.4.44 x64. On my secondary monitor (1920x1080 via HDMI), in Windows Display Settings, it is set to "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" by 150%. This version of IrfanView seems to be ignoring that setting. If I change that to 100%, IrfanView displays correctly. However, that is not a tenable situation, because it makes everything else too small to read.
Everything works fine using the desktop app v.4.41 x64, even with the Windows Display Settings at 150%.

It seems to be working fine for me on IrfanView 4.50.
Please upgrade and check again. Reporting bugs for old versions is pointless.Before you post ... Edit your profile • IrfanView 4.62 • Windows 10 Home 19045.2486

So if version 4.50 is the latest version, then the version in the Microsoft Store needs to be updated to version 4.50, which will then automatically update my installed version.
I've also discovered another problem with the fit-to-screen on my second monitor, but I will hold out until the Store App gets updated and see if that problem was also fixed in 4.50.

Install 4.50 from the home page and the latest test version from my Help Page if you're affected by the Zoom Box Bug.
There are other problems with the App Store version.
Irfan Skiljan has sent them the latest version, so blame Microsoft for not getting their act together yet.Last edited by Bhikkhu Pesala; 21.11.2017, 07:02 AM.Before you post ... Edit your profile • IrfanView 4.62 • Windows 10 Home 19045.2486

The main reason I installed the App Store version at all is because Windows 10 keeps messing with my file associations - especially for .JPG files - and I was hoping that by using a Store App instead of an "unapproved" (Microsoft's words, not mine) desktop program, they would leave things alone at last. Nevermind that IrfanView has been around for over 20 years (and I've been using it since Day One), and has proven much more reliable than Windows ever will be.

As I mentioned above, my second monitor is 1920x1080 and is set at 150% magnification in Windows Display Settings. This is the Windows default setting when I connected this monitor.
Here is an image in normal window mode. Note that because of Windows' 150% magnification, the 750x269 image is displayed as 1125x404.
Now here is the same image in Fit-to-Screen fullscreen mode using version 4.50. The program ignores the Windows Display Settings and zooms the image at 256% (from 750 up to 1920 width), resulting in the image being larger than the screen, instead of fitting to it.
Now here is the same image in Fit-to-Screen fullscreen mode using version 4.41. This version correctly compensates for the Windows Display Settings, and only zooms the image to 171%, which fills the screen correctly.
Lastly, here is an example of the other issue with version 4.44 and now also version 4.50 that I alluded to above. When in fullscreen mode, the program leaves "orphans" of other images to the right and below the current image.

This response by HighLander is from another recent bug report:
Fast response from the author. Problem solved!
Solution not obvious but works:
1) New small laptops with high resolution have factory settings of Windows to upscale DPI (150%) to make the fonts visible.
2) Unless it is changed to 100%, it generates the issue described above
3) To keep upscaling > 100%, and locally fix the issue, you need to:
- find the "i_view32.exe" file (usually in "c:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView")
- show "Properties" of this file
- select Tab "Compatibility"
- enable the option: "Override DPI scaling" = "use Application"Before you post ... Edit your profile • IrfanView 4.62 • Windows 10 Home 19045.2486

A more effective workaround is to simply continue to use version 4.41, since it didn't have either issue, so there's no need to tamper with any settings.
I'll keep watching for a new version to be released, but until then, I've already reverted back to 4.41, which is where I will stay.
