Hi, first I have to admit that I'm one very happy customer. I'm using MC11 and I wanna create a poster (the ones you actually hang on your wall) in the largest size I can afford with the best quality possible. So far I managed only to create a great looking A4 sized print. I got 2990 albums all with cover art in MC and use a custom smartlist with album thumbnails (43x43 pixels) and no spacing. I change the screen resolution to the highest possible (2048x1536) on my system, list the album thumbnails nearly fullscreen (the title bar is still present), make a screen shot, scroll down the list, make another screen shot, merge and crop the screen shots together in photoshop and have a picture of a size around 1978x2795 pixels with a matrix of 46x65 covers, which is good enough quality to print out on a A4 color laser printer. If I choose larger thumbnail sizes the aspect ratio of the resulting picture is nowhere near anything you could print and still would look good. So here is my question: anyone got any idea of a way I could get a higher resolution picture to print on paper larger than A4? Putting together e.g. four screenshots (one left top, one left bottom, one right top, one right bottom) is no option, cause then the sorting would be out of order. Is there maybe a little tool that lets you run MC on a virtual desktop in fullscreen with a size of say 6400x4800? My graphic card drivers don't offer an option like this, are there any graphic card drivers that do so? Anyway, I'm pretty pleased of what I reached so far and framed the A4-print (did I mention that you can see 2990 tiny little covers on it?
) and it's hanging on my wall. You can still recognize the covers
Thanx for any reply and thanx for such a great customizable program,

P.S.: I haven't found a way to use the COMMENT field in visualisation studio as a text field yet. COMMENT or [COMMENT] don't work ?
P.P.S.: Is there maybe a way within MC to export a simple text list of all albums in the format like ARTIST - ALBUM (YEAR), where each album is listed only once?
