Title: detached display and mini view - ui tweak request
Post by: rjm on January 19, 2007, 10:44:10 am

I love the Detached Display feature in MC12 and use it all the time with Mini View when viewing video. This keeps my desktop uncluttered and allows me to work on other applications while viewing video in a small window. I return to Standard View, which I keep maximized, when I want to add something to Playing Now.

To get to Mini View with a Detached Display requires the following steps:
- start video in Standard View
- right click Display and select Detach Display
- press Ctrl+2 to select Mini View

I would like to propose a small tweak that would make this more convenient to use.

I think that when one is playing a video and you select Mini View, the Detached Display should start by default. Currently if you select Mini View without first detaching the display, you only get audio.
