album art for bigger view

Every foobar question should be asked with an apology: Sorry if it has been asked before, but I can't find the answer :)
Is there a way to double click on album art for bigger view in a new window? I don't want to waste a lot of real estate for the album cover, but from time to time I need to get it bigger to read the information on the cover (this is especially necessary for classical music)
Thanks in advance!
Ron

Album Art script for either WSH panel mod or jscript panel by marc2003 has this feature (opens in default system application for images).
So you need:
- WSH panel mod or jscript panel
- the whole script package by marc2003, there's something here I guess(?) https://github.com/arcos26/wsh_marc2003
- copy and paste script into new WSH or Jscript panel

Many thanks that's what I need! Let it open in windows picture viewer and I'm all set. Now only if I could follow the instructions :)
I don't know which specific script, is it this one??
// ==PREPROCESSOR==
// @name "Album Art"
// @author "marc2003"
// @feature "v1.4"
// @feature "watch-metadb"
// @import "%fb2k_profile_path%wsh_marc2003\js\lodash.min.js"
// @import "%fb2k_profile_path%wsh_marc2003\js\helpers.js"
// @import "%fb2k_profile_path%wsh_marc2003\js\panel.js"
// @import "%fb2k_profile_path%wsh_marc2003\js\albumart.js"
// ==/PREPROCESSOR==

var panel = new _.panel("Album Art", ["metadb", "custom_background"]);
var albumart = new _.albumart(0, 0, 0, 0);

panel.item_focus_change();

function on_size() {
   panel.size();
   albumart.w = panel.w;
   albumart.h = panel.h;
}

function on_paint(gr) {
   panel.paint(gr);
   albumart.paint(gr);
}

function on_metadb_changed() {
   albumart.metadb_changed();
}

function on_get_album_art_done(m, id, im, p) {
   albumart.get_album_art_done(p);
}

function on_mouse_wheel(s) {
   albumart.wheel(s);
}

function on_mouse_move(x, y) {
   albumart.move(x, y);
}

function on_mouse_lbtn_dblclk(x, y) {
   albumart.lbtn_dblclk(x, y);
}

function on_mouse_rbtn_up(x, y) {
   return panel.rbtn_up(x, y, albumart);
}

function on_key_down(k) {
   albumart.key_down(k);
}

Yes, that's the one. You need the whole folder (from releases) copied into foobar's profile folder. New panel - WSH PM - copy and paste the code.

hate to bother you with this but I'm lost.
I have a portable version of foobar and I don't seem to have a profile folder. I downloaded a zip file from that link with lots of files. Will I need all that stuff? It looks like this is much more than what I need.
I appreciate your help!

For spectrum, for example, there is context menu option to "toggle to full screen mode" that's all i need i guess...why is foobar so complicated  :'(

I still hope to hear from someone else on this. I was able to install  Foo_uie_albumart (which requires ui columns). It provides a context menu item that enables you to open the image in an external program of your choice. But I don't want to use ui columns, any other suggestions please?

If you're going to point people towards my old scripts. use my version in the Uploads forum which has more complete instructions (check readme.txt inside the zip)

Thank you. I guess you would be the most qualified person to answer this: does your script require columns ui? I am really after a simple and minimalist solution here. I am happy with foobar straigh out of the box, my only issue is the inability to enlarge the album art when I want. Thanks

- I put wsh_marc2003 (or something like that) into google and it was the top (if not the only) result, that's all
- you're the one putting those files out there, if it's a mess with incomplete instruction and you delete/change location of newer ones (I honestly have no clue which it is) it's not my problem
- I didn't even know about more complete instruction so "if you..." doesn't apply  8)
- as always: thanks for the scripts as I use them
