Maximize Image

Is there a way to automatically maximize all cover images on the upper right hand side of Calibre?

Are you referring to the cover in the Details pane (controlled by the book icon in the lower corner) ? FYI the pane is reconfigurable: mine is on the bottom.

There is also the cover browser (the black arrow). There is another settin that allows this to be detached from the main GUI (and possibly, displayed on a second monitor). That can be resized if you have room.

The 'I' key brings up book info which is larger than the details pane. That has Next/Previous (book) buttons

@Francois Driesen - You can configure the content of the Book Details panel in Preferences->Look and Feel->Book Details

You can resize the Book Details panel by moving the splitter control - see attachment

Have you looked at the aspect ratio of the images? Near as I can tell from your attached samples and looking at how images are displayed on my computer, the image is resized to fit the window but the aspect ratio is maintained. That is a 600x800 (3x4) image would fill the box but a 400x800 (2x4) image would fit the vertical but the horizontal would be about 67% of the width of the window. Similarly a 600x600 image would fill the width but not the height.

Regards,
David

Another thing to try when you see the Geometry numbers seem to disagree with what you see.

In the metadata editor (cover section): Trim borders
The image may have whitespace included

That's neat, makes it look like XBMC for books!

I installed the Resize Cover plugin and it does exactly what I wanted to do. Thanks for your help.
