Yes, me again (but I don't care about this one, it's just an FYI), simulator is not supporting the use of high res "@2x" images

It works fine on device, so it’s not urgent. This worked fine on the previous version. If you use iphone 4 in the simulator it doesn’t load the “2@x” files, but the regular ones. As long as it continues to work fine on device it’s not a deal breaker. It’s still scaling, since display.contentScaleX returns the correct result.

Also the simulator loads the wrong splashscreen with respect to the device, for example it’ll load Default-Landscape.png on an iphone, while the device will load Default.png. [import]uid: 10835 topic_id: 4326 reply_id: 304326[/import]

The larger “@2” images are working for me, in the Simulator. I did, however, specify this usage in my config.lua file…

imageSuffix =  
{  
 ["@2"] = 2,  
}

I didn’t just assume the Apple built-in usage of the @2 suffix. Maybe this needs to be specified? Maybe it’s a good idea to specify it regardless, so Corona always understands to use these instead of relying on Apple’s @2 implementation? I’m not sure, just a thought…

Apple’s suffix is “@2x”, not “@2” as the docs would have you believe. I’ve been using that without specifying anything in the config.lua file. The thing is that it works fine on the device (tested different images) and it worked before the Corona update. I’ll see if changing the config file makes a difference, but to be honest I don’t mind very much. I just though the Ansca people would like to know.

Good point Ignacio,

I’m still testing my images setup and determining which method to use. My instinct tells me to specify my own suffix setup in the config file, instead of relying on Apple’s suffix. If I plan to build for Android devices, I’ll need to specify these regardless, since I don’t believe Android has any @2x suffix method (or if they do, it might be different, or they might change it in the future). Probably just better to specify my own suffix setup from the start. :slight_smile:
