Cover page resiCover page resizing in metadata editinzing in metadata editing window.
I wanted to ask if you could explain the behavior of the cover page when the metadata window is enlarged. The cover page maintains a certain format until the window is enlarged too much. At that point, the cover page retains its format and doesn't fill the rest of the cover page area.

As far as I could when I looked at this a while back, if your display window for that cover image is larger than the image dimensions by a certain amount, the image will no longer resize to fit the window. Oddly, once the image is smaller than the image it snaps to it's actual size. One sample image I tested has a 200x295 cover image. As I expanded the metadata edit window, the displayed image would expand to 344x495 and then snap back to 200x295.

Can this please be changed to fill the space only if the space is the same or smaller then the size of the cover image? It would be good to see that the cover image is smaller then the space around it.

The image dimensions are shown in right bottom corner (if you didn't hide it), so you can identify small images.

IMHO, it's better to have the cover not show enlarged past it's dimensions.
