[Feature]: Click outside to restore window and actually resize window #218

Description

What problem would this solve?

When I used Picasa, and clicked outside the image area, the window exits the fullscreen mode, and resizes to the actual image.

So this:

Image

Would became this:

The actual image will stay in place in terms of screen space coords, the background will disappear, the thumbnails moved to the bottom of image.

This is the perfect way to do this, cuz if you need to interact with other apps, the image will stay in place.

In FlyPhotos with "Click outside image to restore the window" enabled, this:

Image

Would became this:

Image

So, actual image position on the screen is moved. The background is not removed (basically FlyPhotos just scales down the window, keeping the same aspect ratio as your monitor). A lot of wasted space just for displaying background.

This is not a proper behavior, since there is not usecase where user actually wants to see all this empty background space after clicking outside to restore the window

Proposed solution

Make behavior identical with Picasa - when the user clicks outside the image:

  • Resize the window to photo's size
  • Move the window to the same position as photo was (in absolute screen coordinates), so photo visually stay in place
