I updated recently to the newest version of MediaMonkey recently. In the old version, when I clicked the small picture of the album cover on the right side of the screen, a pop-up window used to come up with a larger version of the cover. Now, in the new version this feature has been disabled. Why? I loved this feature and, frankly, I'm somewhat annoyed that it was removed. Otherwise, I love MediaMonkey, so it's a shame to have such an easily-fixable nuisance within the program.

*Update to my last post*

The above method seems to work for some files and not others....I'm investigating it further.

So I just installed 4.1 and I tried poking around to see if I could figure out a way to help with this single-click artwork issue.

And I did.

Right-click "Art & Details" > uncheck "Lock aspect Ratio" > switch from the "Now Playing" tab to the "Selected" tab, then back to the "Now Playing" tab.

Now single-click brings up the big artwork window.

Agreed, this is annoying. Would love if team MediaMonkey would consider bringing back the old behavior.

On 1 PC I deselected all fields in Choose Fields and a single click opens the Artwork. So it seems you still can do this.

I agree with Marqueemoon and others. This is an unwelcome change and I preferred the previous behaviour. At a minimum, it would be nice to have an option to go back to the old behaviour (single click = enlarged artwork) in the Settings.

The fact is, you can right click on the art preview in order to enable or disable "show file details". If you like the information in "show file details" which many people do, then you're not exactly going to be enabling and disabling it for every album are you??
Please note that "show file details" isn't a user friendly experience either. You now enable "show file details" by left clicking on the art preview, but you need to right click on the art preview to disable "show file details".

Please bring back one left click for enlarged artwork!!

I, too, agree with Marquemoon. this is an unwelcome change.

I'm with Marquemoon here: I think it was a bad idea to change this standard, expected behavior just to have the "track details" view that I really don't see the use for (and probably not many others).

Also now the double-click to maximize album art is inconsistent with the album art in the player, which still is enlarged with a single click.

I'm meaning in the enlarged album art window that comes up. Currently, in order to display that enlarged album art window, you have to make sure that "show file details" isn't selected in the "Art & Details" window (you can disable that by right clicking and deselecting "show file details". Then if you double click on the album art there, it brings up the enlarged album art in a window. That used to be done with one click rather than double click.

They used to have 1 click to open enlarged artwork in iTunes as well, but apple took it away.
I switched to mediaMonkey after that and you've now taken away that feature as well. I cannot double click as you say (I have arthritis).

My dream with album artwork was to be able to click on the art preview to make it enlarged (like before), but then being able to easily navigate through the artwork while you're on the enlarged screen. You used to have to go back and forth to make the next image in the file full screen.

Yes, that's what I found too :D

Thanks a lot for your help - loving 4.1 so far, not found any other major issues.

You'd need to display something to know what mode is active.

Thanks, that does remove the overlay. However this has another issue, it seems the display has two "modes":

1. Regular - double click opens artwork window, single goes into "Overlay" mode.
2. Overlay - double click opens properties, single goes back to Regular mode.

So without the overlay displaying anything, there is no way to know what mode it's in and what a double click would do...

Not a big issue though, I can live with it, just need to display something anyway to know what mode is active I guess :wink:
