"Graphics Resolution" priority options when opening projects

Post by Terry Payman »

I'd like a option to open a project at the current Graphics Resolution, rather than that saved with the project.

Two use cases:
1) Live performance, facilitating successive use of large projects saved with different resolutions.
On loading a project I often have to re-set Magic's Graphics Resolution to match the current projector.

I can't take advantage of "Use size of Magic Window", as I have a 4k screen on my laptop and Magic typically locks up when using the fullscreen shortcut.
It's easy to overlook the need to restore the required resolution, especially towards the end of a long VJ set!

2) Editing on a lower spec machine
At a remote location my only PC has just 4GB GPU memory, whereas my main Desktop and laptop have 8GB and many of my large projects use more than 4GB (especially if I've used "Keep Scene in Graphics Memory").

At the remote location I'd like to be able to open a large project so that I can edit it, but the loading project overrides any reduced Graphics Resolution that I set beforehand and Magic crashes.

Sure that seems reasonable.
