SoapUI on windows 10 - high DPI/4K scaling issue

On Windows 10, it now works by setting the scaling in the properties of the SoapUI.exe

SoapUI Compability Properties for scaling

from https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/SoapUI-editor-appearing-small-on-high-resolution-monitor/m-p/142113/highlight/true#M24163


This is the workaround until the developers get round to making a version that is DPI-Aware.

Step 1: Add a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\PreferExternalManifest (DWORD) to 1

Step 2: Add a manifest file 'SoapUI-5.2.1.exe.manifest' in the same directory as 'SoapUI-5.2.1.exe'

Content of manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <description>eclipse</description>
    <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
        <security>
            <requestedPrivileges>
                <requestedExecutionLevel xmlns:ms_asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"
                    level="asInvoker" ms_asmv3:uiAccess="false">
                </requestedExecutionLevel>
            </requestedPrivileges>
        </security>
    </trustInfo>
    <asmv3:application>
        <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
            <ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware xmlns:ms_windowsSettings="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">false</ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware>
        </asmv3:windowsSettings>
    </asmv3:application>
</assembly>


Correct DPI scaling: corect


You also can use this command to create registry key:

reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide /v PreferExternalManifest /d 1 /t REG_DWORD

I did as below, it works fine after restart SoapUI

Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings -> Overide high ... -> System
