Everythingworks great with the new SSD being the C drive, but it shows the old hard drive's space for some reason in Windows Explorer, while in Disk Management it shows the correct space. I restarted the computer and it was the same thing. Does anyone know what's going on?
Download a copy of GParted Live CD. Burn it, boot off of it and EXTEND the partition on your 240 GB SSD. This should take no more than 10 minutes, tops. Given that you have a backup of your data on your original drive, I think you have all your bases covered. Good luck!
In Windows Disk Management right-click the volume you want to extend. Select Shrink Volume... and shrink by e.g. 1MB. After shrinking Disk Management now sees the missing 120GB data volume. Right-click and select Extend Volume....
Just an add-on to what was said about using windows disk management. The easiest and quickest way is do a drive shrink, but only shrink a very small amount like 10MB. If you do a large amount, it could take for ever to do. So shrink 10MB, it should do that instantaneously, and then the remainder of the drive will appear and you can then do the extend.
What is required is simply after cloning to drop into the command line, then run the command "sgdisk with the option -e" eg) sudo sgdisk -e /dev/sda, then a new partition can be created with "sudo cfdisk /dev/sda", move down to the free space at the end of the disk, then choose New, take defaults and normal 'dows partition software will see available space and a deleteable partition.
I hit this problem and finding the common Windows utility offerings too vague and unsure if Samsung's migration utility would allow me to clone via images on an intermediary USB drive, I chose using Clonezilla which worked a treat accepting the defaults having created a directory on the USB disk for the images.
Clonezilla is excellent but focussed on those with Linux experience, there are Linux ditros with graphical interfaces which would have done the job. IF I could have simultaneously connected both old SATA SSD and the MSATA card mounted in an MSATA->SATA pass through adapter 2.5" caddy made by Sabrent, I wouldn't have needed Clonezilla's flexibility. It saved me fitting both disks into a desktop machine where I could clone and fix the GPT directly. I was getting about 3GB/min over USB, so the imaging & restoring were far quicker than similar restores under W10
Was 10000000x easier than clonezilla since you set it up in windows, it restarts, and does its thing. I guess for easy tasks like simply cloning that's the way to go. took 20 minutes and the partition shows the correct size in windows now, yay.
I'm working on a laptop (windows) and find that the majority of the UI (text, icons, etc.) is too small. Some of the fonts scale correctly to my system preferences, but most are microscopic. I have googled and it says there should be a UI font scale option or icon scale option under the User Interfaces section of the preferences menu, but I cannot see it (see attached - screenshot in designer v2).

I think the should be statement is from a lot of posts from users desiring it, not that it is actually available. As you can see there is no such setting or adjustment within the Affinity apps. Some users have changed the setting in Windows>System>Display.
So it seems I'm not missing something after all. This is disappointing. I already have my scaling turned up quite a bit (and system text too, not shown in screenshot) and if it gets any bigger, the rest of my general system UI will be comically large. So it seems that this is just a feature lacking in this software suite, which sucks. I may just have to not use this software suite on my laptop. Hopefully something like this can be added in a future update.
The Settings/Ease of Access/Make text bigger setting avoids the undesirable effects of scaling your entire display, but it only changes some text elements, not the icons and not text elements that are hard-coded by Affinity and that don't use the Windows system fonts. It works for me on my 24" 1920x1200 Dell monitors. I would never be able to use Affinity on a 13" laptop monitor and maybe not even on a 15" monitor.
Larger monitors are not necessarily a solution. You can find many posts in these forums from people who have purchased larger (e.g. 32") high resolution monitors and find Affinity almost unusable. The Teeny-Tiny UI problem only gets worse with age. If you stick with it, eventually you memorize where things are and what they indicate even though you can't read them comfortably and unambiguously.
I have the same issues. I can not read the menu text or icons on my High-Resolution monitor. No matter how I attempt to correct the situation, it does not resolve. My eyesight suffers when using this application. My vision is blurred from eye-strain. At this point, I am ready to throw my hands up in the air and return to Photoshop. To say I am extremely disappointed in Affinity is an understatement. I can work on a lower-resolution monitor, but that defeats the purpose of a high-resolution monitor when creating graphic art. Totally unacceptable. This has been going on for YEARS. Unbelievable.
When the iPhone 4 launched, it had connectivity issues with the antenna due to a design oversight(/regretful choice?), and Steve Jobs tried to tell people "no, the phone doesn't have a problem, you're all just holding it wrong".
This is also a problem on Mac. You can go into system settings (display) and increase size of everything (scaled), which I have to do so I can see anything well and it works on everything else. However, when done the Affinity UI screen goes out of site at the bottom and you can't go down and shorten the screen. This is even the case if you set the display to the larger scale, shorten the Affinity UI screen and then go back and enlarge it. So, I have to go back and forth with system settings when using the Affinity Apps. That is rough on my old eyes.
Scaling the UI text and icons for all 3 Affinity Apps was available in the later versions of Affinity v.1. I just discovered with Affinity V.2 it was taken away. I think that was an awful decision. Serif, do you not care about making your products as visually accessible as possible? Computer monitors increase by the day it seems. With more visual space to work on, your consumers should have the option to increase UI size as we once did.
As you will see from links provided in my older posts, the APhoto UI became significantly worse in Affinity 2 applications. Given that history, there seems little hope for improvement given that Affinity does not consider readability to be a problem. Either that or it lacks the technical expertise and user experience specialists who could do anything about it.
The various icons and buttons in the Eclipse (Kepler) interface are very, very small on a laptop with a 3200x1800px screen. The red error decoration that appears to indicate errors on files is difficult to see unless my nose a few cm from the screen.
I've played around with adjusting the screen resolution and other settings in the operating system (Windows 8.1), which helps, but results in other applications appearing too large, and even then the Eclipse icons are uncomfortably small. Enlarging the fonts in the Eclipse preferences (window>preferences>Dialog Font) doesn't affect the icon size.
Is there any easy way to force larger icons? Any work arounds (I've used the Magnifier but that's a rather clunky solution)? Should I just buy a magnifying glass and keep it next to my mouse? Maybe someone should make a mouse with a magnifying glass embedded? :)
I struggled with this issue for a little bit too. I noticed a lot of you posted really complicated resolutions but there is a much easier way to do this! Its just a program and you shouldn't have to modify scripts, or install third party tools. The issue is related to High DPI scaling as mentioned above but what I think a lot of you are missing is that you can't directly modify compatibility settings on the launcher itself. The launcher and eclipse are two different programs! You need to browse to the Eclipse.exe and override the High DPI scaling option there. Once set, you can use the launcher as normal. The launcher will hit the executable, launch the eclipse.exe and since you set the compatibility settings on the .exe it will run using those settings. I spent like 10 minutes tracking down where the exe was so if its any help mine was located in: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Yatta\Launcher\installations\eclipse-ide-for-java-developers\eclipse.exe
And yes, the icons were super small before adjusting this setting. I tried setting compatibility settings on the launcher itself but it obviously didn't fix the issue. But after setting the override High DPI setting for the eclipse.exe icons are now normal size. Let me know if this works for others!
I figured that one solution would be to run a batch operation on the Eclipse JAR's which contain the icons and double their size. After a bit of tinkering, it worked. Results are pretty good - there's still a few "stubborn" icons which are tiny but most look good.
Had same problem, to resolve it, create a shortcut of the launcher, right click > properties > compatibility > tick on 'Override high DPI scaling behaviour' and select System Enhanced from the dropdown as shown on pic below. Relaunch eclipse after changes.
For completion I thought I'd add that this issue is solved in Eclipse 4.6 Neon -developer.php (the current developer version). The icons look a bit sad (low resolution) but at least they are scaled correctly on my 4k screen.
