It has been very long since our last email exchanged. Well, the first time you created the display with the adaptive resolution on, the IDV did the calculation of the resolution. This is why I didn't turn it off. Too many times, users complained the memory problem of the IDV without knowing they actually did not need to load that much data. This is the reason to keep it on as default. After created the display, many users like to interact and explore the data, it will be very annoying if the IDV keep loading the data, and this is why MDR play a role here. I tried to follow the logic of most common usage of the IDV, and I know there is no perfect solution. Hope you can understand.
