The Artwork Viewer is used to display images found in album or track databases and artwork found in tracks. The viewer is less constrained when resizing than the artwork panels found in the main window. The title field of the viewer window displays the dimensions of the image and the approximate percentage the displayed image is of its full size.
When displaying an album or track database, Yate can display artwork thumbnails. You can view a larger copy of the displayed thumbnail in the artwork viewer, by double clicking on the image. You can control the source of the images, if any, from the Artwork panel in the application preferences. You can make the artwork panel follow selection changes in the database, via the Update album and track database selection changes option found in the Artwork panel application preferences.
Images can be dragged out of the artwork viewer to any application which can receive dragged image data. You can drag to the Yate main window. Images can be copied, saved and dragged out of the artwork viewer directly to a Finder folder. The dragged file will be named as follows:
The Artwork Viewer can be manually opened by means of the Artwork>Show Artwork Viewer menu item.
You can copy images or image files manually into the Artwork Viewer, by dragging them or by pasting them in. Also, when the main window's selected files all reside in the same folder, you can attempt to load a folder.jpg file from the context menu. If you drag or open a folder, an attempt is made to load a folder.jpg file.
You can display the current image in the file list's Artwork editing panel by double clicking on the large image display or via the context menu. This will also work from a full artwork display on a custom editing panel.
You can tell the Artwork Viewer to automatically update on file list selection changes via the Update on file list selection changes option in the Artwork panel preferences.
You can tell the Artwork Viewer to automatically zoom loaded images to their maximum size via the Zoom loaded Images to full size option in the Artwork panel preferences.
Double clicking on a displayed image will zoom it to 100%, or the largest percentage which is possible.
The Artwork Viewer has a context menu which can be used to save the artwork performing various image modification functions. The context menu also allows you to save the image as folder.jpg when the main window's selected files all reside in the same folder.
Note: If the Artwork Viewer was opened from the Discogs or MusicBrainz wizard, changes made to the image are not reflected back to the wizard.
