For me, there are three types of images in the Marketplace:
The full screen images you can scroll, but are completely covered by the description window
The large but very wide aspect ratio images in the top portion of the description window
A scroll of tiny images you can barely see in the bottom of the description window
I have clicked everywhere, I can’t figure out how to hide the description window? What purpose is there to the large images you can’t see if I can’t hide the description window? Who designed this and thought it was a good idea?
Why can’t I zoom in on the tiny images at the bottom of the description window?
Why can’t I expand the wide aspect ratio images so I can see the whole image and not just the squished window we are shown, the data’s there… why not let us see it?
Or am I just not able to figure out how to do these things?
There are three types of images available in a Marketplace package. You have the first set that’s behind the text, which are full-screen and viewable as a slideshow. Next, if you scroll down a bit, there is a place for large-scale pics that you can also view as a slideshow, but are no blocked by the advertising text. Below that are the additional thumbnails - those can’t be enlarged. It’s up to the developer as to which type and how many of each they upload with their submission. For instance, the Kitfox package only has the first category, and nothing else. Compare that listing with any of the Carenado entries, and you’ll see the difference.
Right, that’s what I described… my question is, how do you turn off the description window so you can actually look at the images behind the description window?
How do you zoom up the teeny tiny pictures so you can see the details?
Why do they make it so hard to look at the images?
Well, I know all those images are in the marketplace directory in the package… I was commenting more on the silliness and lack of utility of the Marketplace in general, and wondering if perhaps I was missing something. In my old age, sometimes I’m not totally up on the newfangled interfaces. I’ve never been able to figure out how to use Apple computers and devices for instance. But that’s been a 20 year battle…
Like, who could ever figure out how to set the time on a Casio watch?
