Title: Only smal views of Cover art in MC 16
Post by: KAP on May 24, 2011, 10:56:16 am

Only small cover arts is to be viewed in MC 16, in both "Audio >file" and in "Playing now"  Mode.
In MC 15 i was possibly to view a large cover art in at least one of them, by draging the columnline right in the Cover art - coloumn.
Why is this possibillity remooved in this version?
Is it possibly to get it back, I really missed it. :-[

Yes, it gives larger pictures, but cover arts in good quality could be viewed in full size in the hole filearea in the earlier MC.
Musiclovers talk more and more about the lovely large cover art on vinyl records in stead of CD's.
But in MC they are only the half of CD's.

I really liked to view the cover shortly with only a mouse drag to fully size, and back again in once.
Isn't it possibly to get back this function in MC16 to  ????

You can display the cover in the display panel of Playing Now. Or if you want view the cover of a file not playing in a list view, it can be displayed using the tag window.

KAP, i think you mean group by...add group by album+large thumbnail, then you can "drag the columnline right in the Cover art"

Yes, thank you, I see the l have added coloumn "large tumbnail", and I understand that is this I Want, but how can I get the Cover arts in that coloumn?
I think it's some thing more to do for importing the pictures there.

What I suggested has nothing to do with Group by.

Playing Now is a split view. The display is in the top split. It can display the cover of the currently playing file, among other things (right-click to select). The file list is in the bottom split. You might not be seeing a display because it's collapsed. If so, drag the splitter to open it.
