No scaling on the AppImage?

EDIT: Managed to scale the UI via extracting the AppImage, editing the user.reg and repacking it. So solved for now atleast.

Just wanted to ask if there's a way to scale the DPI on the AppImage, it's pretty much unusable on my 4K screen and unfortunately with the GUI installer, i can only get Designer and Photo working. Affinity Studio just freezes my entire computer for like 30-60 seconds and never starts. AppImage seems to at least launch fine but would love the scaling option. On Fedora 43.

Thanks.

I know I'm late but on Fedora (or any other distro that doesn't ship with) just install "zenity" and run the appimage from terminal with "--dpi" at the end. You only need to do it once, then your dpi settings will be stored.

sudo dnf install zenity
cd ~/<path_to_yourappimages>
./<affinity_appimage> --dpi

Ah, thanks alot! Will look into it.

Only on my 2nd month of the Linux journey so hadn't head about Zenity and ended up doing it the hard way. Tho i guess extracting and repacking Appimages is a worthwile lesson to learn as well.

Does scaling using gear lever works ? I have seen changing environments variables like GDK_SCALE=1.5 But I think it's only works for qt and gdk apps not wine apps bundled as appimage cause it is using windows themeing.
