INTERACT FORUM

It occurs to me that maybe you are referring to the thumbnail image is displayed in the Modern tag window by default? If so, I removed that a long time ago, as I don't want to waste space in the tag window showing the image. The display I want is what is accomplished via the Legacy tag window, which I only use to activate the Image at the bottom of the tree.  It just won't stick between sessions.

This is why I previously suggested another approach might be to add File Image to the action window menu options. As you can see in the picture, it already is just another expandable/collapsible mini-window like all other action window menu items.  It's just not currently an action window menu item that can be chosen. Why not make it one? Instead, you have to go through the laborious steps to activate it via the Legacy Tag Window.

Over the years, I have seen requests by other members for MC to remember the expand/collapse state of the action window between sessions. This would coincide with that request to some degree.

But maybe this is just too difficult and time-consuming to program. But I said previously, I would be thrilled if just the image would stick between sessions.

When I LMB on the little image in the legacy tag window it does not show a menu.

Instead, it immediately closes the legacy tag window and shows the image below the tree. MC just needs to remember that when I close it, and then show the image automatically the next time I open MC.

If you are not seeing that same behavior, that would explain why we are talking past each other.  Is there some setting difference that could cause that?

I mean clicking the little image in the tag window.  Right now it shows the menu.  Another choice would be to add zoom to the menu.

Sorry if I'm being obtuse Matt, but I don't follow what you mean. Left click on what image zoom? You mean the image zoom icon for images for media type = images?

MC already does exactly what I want right now, it's just that it doesn't remember that I activated the large thumbnail/file image at the bottom of the tree between sessions. It currently takes 7(!) steps to reactivate the image the every time I start new MC session:

- open modern tag window
- open modern tag window settings menu and switch to legacy tag window
- click on the small album art thumbnail at the top of the legacy tag window
- this instantly closes the legacy tag window and shows the larger image at the bottom of the tree as desired
- open the legacy tag window again
- open the legacy tag window settings menu and switch back to the modern tag window
- close the tag window to return to the tree

If MC would simply remember that the image at the bottom of the tree was active the next time I opened MC, I would be thrilled.  But I perhaps misunderstood altogether what you meant in your post. Please advise.

My vote is to make left-click on the image zoom into the image page and right-click show the menu.  If you all agree I can make the change for the next build.

vsync often changes a bit from time to time...is there anyway to fix that...i now have latest nvidia studio driver 555.85.

also one movie(civil war)(but it is not real 4k just a bit lower than 2160p) has only approx 20 000 kbps...but rendering in ms is very high like 10 and 12 ms...and the 80 gb remux oppenheimer movie had as high as 80 000 kbps...but only 8 ms...

this this civil war movie is much higher ms

To be honest, I don't think I've ever found a use for those DLNA zones, so I've just gone to Tools > Options > Media Network and deselected the DLNA Server, Renderer, and Controller checkboxes, which has resulted in those zones disappearing from the Playing Now list.

I can now use numeric prefixes to sort the remaining zones in my preferred order.

 

Interesting.  Yeah, I don't use DLNA at all... just a straight vanilla connection from my computer to the TV.

I've just realised that those zones automatically generated by MC (based, I think, on the available DLNA links discovered by MC) are always given lower priority in the list than my other zones. Within each zone group (non-DLNA and DLNA) the order is alphabetic.   

The entries in my Playing Now list (showing initial letters only) are A, A, S, T, Z, D, K, L , L, which is far from being in alphabetic order. It's been like that for a week or two on a PC that is rebooted every day.

I've just experimented with using numbers at the start of each name and then refreshing the screen. I then ended up with the order 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 5, 7, 9
