Should be fixed in latest 1651 version when it gets available.

I do like the single click to toggle between metadata overlay on and off, its the double click action that drives me batty.

In my mind if the metadata overlay is off, then the double click action should be that the full sized art is displayed.
If the metadata overlay is on then the double click action should open the properties dialog. I like that if lyrics exist it opens the lyrics tab.
I think you're right about that, it's my understanding (based on reading the mantis issue) that the design is supposed to be that if metadata is showing, and you double click on it, it should open the properties window. So in the case that no metadata is showing, it makes sense to bring up the art instead.

Agreed - whilst the workaround is fine on my new lappie (cause larger screen) it dont work to well on me netbook :(
How about a right click option - zoom to full size :wink:

Huh. The workaround was working last night when I posted that. Now... it's not doing it. Ugh.

Annoyed by the change as well.

EDIT: I think I found a "fix" for those that don't use the Details at all. Just edit the fields shown, and untick everything. When "Show Details" is enabled, there's none to show... so you're just left with the artwork portion you see if you have fields enabled and the module large enough. Click... boom, big artwork. :)

EDIT 2: It might just me, but there seems to be a delay now in bringing up the artwork window which I don't recall before. When you clicked the artwork, it seems like it was more "snappy" in bringing up the larger artwork.

Devs, please consider our request. This is a pretty big deal for me.
Thank you.

Oh i agree. I think this was one of those mistakes that devs make ... probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

So in order to have a large version of my artwork i have to make my screen big ALL THE TIME or keep resizing as I want to see. Neither seems user friendly but there you go. Not sure actual *users* were asked <G>

I am a bit disappointed too. I really enjoyed being able to click on the artwork and having it blow up to the full resolution of the embedded artwork. Is there any chance of making it an option to behave this way? I imagine tullyelly and I are not the only ones who feels this way.

Thanks.

That's unfortunate. I'd really prefer how it was. I don't care about lyrics. Onward and upward I suppose.

Thanks for that Ludek - a small adjustment to my window size and all is well again :)

You can still do this if you have the window wide enough like this:
