I had a great week. There's more Qt6 work, and the first version of note parsing is finished.

UI Scaling and Qt6

The media viewer now understands UI scale and will draw images with all available pixels and state the current zoom correctly.  Previously, if you were on 150% UI scale, it would draw at the smaller 100% size and then nearest-neighbour scale up. Now it compensates for the UI scale completely, drawing at that size, so if you look at a 4k image on a 4k screen, it'll look the same no matter what your UI scale is.

Some funny math went into this, particularly as I stitched the image tiles together through several different coordinate spaces, so if you are >100% UI scale and see a grey or white line flickering anywhere as you pan an image around, let me know your details.

After last week's nicer thumbnails at >100%, a user let me know that the thumbnail banner text was actually looking pretty bad at 100%. Looking at screenshots of the two situations made it obvious. I chased down what was going on, which turned out to be an annoying technical problem with no easy solutions, and figured out an ok solution. If all your monitors are 100% UI scale, the thumbnail banner text should now be antialiased. It isn't perfect (and even looks blurry with some semi-transparent background colours), so I may revisit this, and it may be the underlying Qt issue causing the ugly font gets fixed one day anyway.

The rating shapes (circles, squares, stars) are now antialiased too, and I re-did the star shape to look better.
