Suggestion: show embedded cover(s) in real (big) size

Like in the title. Method: double click on the image; from the context menu on it; or any else.

Zoom des Cover-Feldes im Tagpanel

Der für das Anzeigen des Cover im Tagpanel beanspruchte Raum ist recht klein, was ich auch sinnvoll finde. Schließlich will man ja das Tagpanel nicht übermäßig groß werden lassen und genügend Platz für andere Felder lassen. Immer wieder mal möchte ich aber das Cover zum Betrachten von Details mir groß anzeigen lassen. Ich schlage deshalb eine quasi ZOOM-Funktion beim Klicken auf das Cover vor, die das Cover von der im System eingestellten Standardsoftware in Originalgröße anzeigen lässt. Wenn …

In fact, it may be done with a saved action (...group) + a tool, but it is not the most comfortable solution: export the cover(s) by filename (+type: "01. ABBA - The day, before you came_____Front.jpg") into the win temp folder (CCleaner clears it periodically), then open it with a tool. Sorry, 2 steps, 4-5 clicks, instead of doubleclicking on the image. (Or, the better: from the right click menu of the record in the table.)

My actual workaround: foobar can show it. Not the most comfortable way, too: many clicks, no zoom. Or: export all images to their folder, then delete them after using.

By the way (as a second suggestion), it will be nice, too, to have a new action type: start an external application with parameters. As tools do it. (Or start a ready tool -- similar, as we can already use the ready exports in actions.) So, for example, will be easy to create simply an action group for the above task.

I've just released Mp3tag v3.10b and added a cover preview window which can be shown by double-clicking on the cover on the Tag Panel.
