Is the iPad mini margin the same width, but just looks smaller
because there is more space? It wouldn't surprise me if the number
of pixels margin is actually the same.<br>
I will enter this as a bug.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

Actually, the flashcard layout of MC on the iPad mini is more
square-like in appearance than the iPod touch's one, which is
really kinda "banana-rectangular".<br>
In any case, projecting the image with an iPad mini almost entirely
fills up the flashcard's space, with an equal small white margin
around.<br>
Unfortunately, I don't have my iPad mini anymore, I could have
uploaded a screenshot otherwise.<br>
I'd be very happy could this be fixed on Studies for iPod
touch.</p></div>Peter Narkistag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/392508402016-02-26T09:06:07Z2016-02-26T09:06:07Zsize of "screen" projections with Mental Case on iOS devices<div><p>I've now fixed this, and it will be in the next minor

<p>I'm using the iOS beta right now, and still have the white band
issue.<br>
Just another thing : I join 2 screenshots, one from a facet in
studies iOS and another being the same facet in keynote iOS. As you
can see, the latter is notably bigger in size. This is a very
visual difference when projecting flashcards, as I do.</p>
<p>Couldn't there be a way to have a similar layout (or at least an
option) as in keynote, which is almost square-like and not the
utterly stretched one of Studies ?</p></div>Peter Narkistag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/392508402016-03-11T16:22:24Z2016-03-11T16:22:24Zsize of "screen" projections with Mental Case on iOS devices<div><p>I did increase the size of the image area in landscape
orientation. Can’t remember if it made it into that
build.</p>
<p>Comparing to keynote doesn’t make a lot of sense, because
keynote has a much simpler task: just project slides one after the
other as large as possible.</p>
<p>That is not the task of this app. It is not presentation
software, and has a lot more peripheral features that are needed to
track study etc. It is not ideal as presentation software.</p>
<p>Note that you can double tap an image to see it enlarged, and
even zoom in. As far as I know, Keynote doesn’t do that.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

increased the size of image area for landscape, but it is smaller
than I expected, so maybe the fix went missing.</p>

not appeared in a release yet. I will add it to Studies too.</p>

<p>maybe managing image sizes in a given facet and given
orientation could be offered as a feature for the user, who could
apply this as a template to the stacks desired ?</p></div>Peter Narkistag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/392508402016-03-15T14:01:05Z2016-03-15T14:01:06Zsize of "screen" projections with Mental Case on iOS devices<div><p>Hi, just wanted to add my (last) 2 cents on this.</p>
<p>If a feature-less app as Flashcard hero DOES allow the user to
manually resize an image in the question facet, how come Studies
doesn't ? Doesn't seem like a big deal to implement, no ?</p></div>Peter Narkistag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/392508402016-03-15T14:03:47Z2016-03-15T14:03:47Zsize of "screen" projections with Mental Case on iOS devices<div><p>I haven’t used flashcard hero in a long time, but it is
just simple cards, with a single layout, right? They don’t
have a real study or organizational mode?</p>
<p>We do allow you to resize facets, but you can’t resize the
image independent of the other stuff. Note that quicklook should
work on facets, so you should be able to get a good preview at all
times if that is important.</p>

=> yea it's rather basic</p>
<p>you can’t resize the image independent of the other stuff.
=> that's exactly my request : it'd allow me to set the
(maximum- or other- size) for each card or apply it as a template.
I'm still waiting to see how your fix turns out when Studies is
updated, but I was surprised that Flashcard would offer this to the
user, basic as it is...</p></div>Peter Narkistag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/392508402016-03-15T15:28:46Z2016-03-15T15:28:46Zsize of "screen" projections with Mental Case on iOS devices<div><p>You are comparing apple’s and oranges. They have a much
more freeform layout engine, like Keynote, if I recall. That has
some advantages, and other disadvantages. Our system is designed to
show content in different contexts (eg on iPad, iPhone, Mac, in
card browser), so we try not to impose specific layout. You control
content, but you don’t control layout of the content.</p>
<p>If you want full control over layout, you can go with keynote
(or FCH), but you have to give up on other things. You can’t
really have both.</p>
