Ive noticed that, in the last few builds of v.26, when I click on a video to play it, it shows with play doctor. I want to make it, by default, to play all videos in display view, like it used to. Now, when you go into display view and then close the display, instead of shrinking into the window above "action". Something changed and I'm not sure if its something I did or you did, but I cant, for the life of me figure out how to get it to default to cover view. Even reinstalling windows, followed by reinstalling mc doesnt change anything, so I'm guessing that the setting in question is save with my library backups. Any help in figuring this out is greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you are playing the video from Standard View. Set "Options > General > Behaviour > Jump on play (video)" to "Display View".

There is a setting for Theatre View as well. Search Options using the search box at the box for "Jump" to find it and others.

Nothing has changed in MC26 since September 4th. Maybe a Windows Update broke something. Maybe you run a Registry cleanup utility, and it deleted a setting, so MC out it back to the default. Maybe other security software deleted a setting.

I'm not sure about the minimise to the Action Window. I've noticed that hasn't worked for some time, but haven't tried to resolve it. I suspect it is some combination of settings, but I'm not sure.

You mention Cover View after asking about Display View. I assume that was in error, and Display View is what you want.
