Quickie: Shortcut to view Cover Art?
« on: August 17, 2013, 06:56:54 pm »

I know there is/was a way to view the cover art for a song with a quick shortcut Ctrl+ something. But I've forgotten and can't figure it out!

Please help!

Ctrl + 5

Hmmm... the description for this short-cut (Cover View) certainly suggests what I want but I get full screen when I press that key sequence! Perhaps Cover View is not the right description - I want to see the cover art blown up large, like a pop-up.

I'm wondering if something has changed with the release I have: 18.0.212

Can you describe what view you are in when you want to see the cover art...?

Try Ctrl-3 and the Ctrl-6.

This goes to Display View and then Detaches the display.  You can resize it, and then go back to your standard view w/Ctrl-1.  Now, Ctrl-6 will toggle the display view you resized.

I have it working now with Ctrl+3. But I didn't get that until I checked Cover Art in the menu that pops up from right clicking on the small cover art window in bottom right when a tune is playing.

I probably need to play around more with the various options. It's just that I had gotten used to the Ctrl+3 option and then suddenly it wasn't working for me.

Many thanks for your help!
