Do you realize that the current "Face Out" book is already selected in the main Library view?
The Book details panel (if open) shows the current book.
the Row Number is highlighted to make it easy to locate (and it is always in the visible area of the Library screen). Now you have "right click options'
Clicking on the Book showing will open the Book in the Calibre reader.

Thanks, yes I do. I like to expand the view to full screen so would be nice to not go back and forth. Just a thought

I agree, that having the Context Menu available in the Browser would be cool, But...
Where would you see this data if you don't go 'Back and Forth'

BTW I run with the Browser option set to run in a Separate window, so it can submerged under the Main Calibre window

Ah that's where you get creative, in most cases it would do the same action as it would in Calibre Link to the same command as say edit mete data, for view description open a window just showing the description.

Thanks for listening to me

It should be fairly easy to implement a context menu that acts on the central book, open a bug report for it, so I dont forget.

Very nice. I don't know how many times I have right clicked on the cover browser area for a context menu and ended up opening the book instead.

Note that the right click menu only shows up if you right click the central book, anywhere else causes the cover browser to scroll.

Yes, that makes sense and is what I would expect, I think this is a fantastic addition.
Thanks for the quick turn around, didn't even get a chance to add to list.
