[REQ] Album album art in full screen w/o disabling function

Post by MasterofPuberty »

Short version:

Can we pull off full-screen album art while still maintaining basic MM functioning?

Slightly longer short version:
I have 2 monitors and I'd like to have the album art in one screen, while browsing or whatever in the primary. Is this possible? (If not, curious why?)

No, MediaMonkey 5 is a single window application.

Itunes is a single-screen too, correct? I just mean, even with one monitor, why does MM lose all functionality when album art is selected and maximized?

It would be nice to leave an album cover open and browse MM at the same time. Currently, the software doesn't allow any other function to occur when art is enlarged.

You can display Artwork in the Preview window, you can also set the Filelisting Playing node to show Artwork.

Yes, but when you click on the art to enlarge it as a separate window, capable of moving around independantly, it disables all other on-screen funcitonality of the program.

I too have a multi-monitor setup and would also love to be able to have my album art full screen (and on its own monitor).

Check out Drakinite's Undock Panels add-on here:
https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... k-playing/
It already allows you to do this with playlists, lyrics and now playing.

I've spoken with Drakinite and he'd like to add this to his addon and he opened bug this bug to track. https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19003
