I like, REALLY LIKE, the tag info display.
I find it easy to view and to edit info if I want.

I truly appreciate the ability to send photos to a handheld.
I use a local directory for my handheld and this is a good way to create web-sized files from my pictures. Any possibility of adding 800*600 and 1024*768 to the resizing choices?

Display view and the vanishing frame is way cool!
When I first installed and Otto did his thing I hit play. I was taken to Display view and while the audio was playing, my photos were being shown in a slideshow. Now, I can't cause that to happen.

I know I can add a playlist, but I think it would be a nice thing to have the option to show a slideshow of random images from the library as a visualization.

All in all, quite nice!
Give the fellas their soda fountain. If they keep this up, you'll have to spring for the matching ice cream freezer too!

With MC 11 or MC 12, double-click an image (or group of images) once you start playing audio.

You'll see the images.  Spacebar toggles slideshow on and off. (along with right-click)

Yep, but easier if a random slideshow just started. More clicking makes it less likely to happen at my house.

I have a now aging version of acdsee installed here, and its primary use for me is for previewing images.

I can double click on an image file, and acdsee's image viewer opens, maximised, displaying the image. From there, I can use the scroll wheel to advance to the next image, or back to the previous image, I can double click on the previewed image, and it then shows me the containing folder, with that image selected, and from there, I could set some acdsee tags to it.

As I see it, MC really badly needs a way to view the big picture, set some tags, then move on to the next big picture, and so on, don't you think?
Doofs plugin idea, captionator, is the kind of thing I'm getting at. All that needs is access to tag info up the left-hand side and we'd be set, or maybe just a handful of select fields for use with images, or something...

Yes, it needs - and this "big picture" should be available without interrupting the slide show, video playback or visualization that happens to be running in the Playing Now display (which is in my case displaying things on another monitor, e.g. on TV)

A couple of my previous comments:


--- Quote ---I would also like to see a quick right-click image monitor. It could be a floating pop-up window that can be zoomed with the plus and minus keys. The Action Window image display is too small and static for checking details or quickly showing images to others. This "quick monitor" should be separate from the Playing Now display. Playing Now may have other tasks running at the same time.

--- Quote ---BTW, the Image Editor works a bit like I described. "Right-click > Image > Edit Image" opens a separate window that can be freely placed and sized. Unfortunately it freezes the main UI and naturally it does not change the displayed image when the selection is changed (nothing can be done in the main UI as long as the editor is open).

When I tag image files with MC12 using a "panes & details" view I have no image display anymore unless I actually play the image. Previously the selected image appeared in the Action Window Image display without changing what was happening in the Playing Now. Though the AW display was too small for anything else than a quick content check.

What I would like to have is a "panes & details" view in the main MC UI and a separate floating image display window that would always show the selected image independently from the Playing Now display.

That would be like a detached and adjustable version of the old Action Window image display (adjustments: +- zoom, window size & position).

This floating display could have a button that would change the display to "Image Editor" mode that would be similar with the current separate Image Editor.
