Add the "hover to enlarge" functionality in the edit mode.

Duplicating the same functionality that is already employed in the gallery 
creation mode would be very helpful in the edit mode also, especially in the 
metadata edit screen. When replacing the SmugMug caption with a caption for the 
virtual gallery, the tiny thumbnail is often not large enough to see adequate 
detail. Say, for example, the photo is a group shot with 10 people in 
it...trying to correctly caption "L-R, Person1, Person2, Person3, etc." is 
difficult, in not impossible, to do. The ability to "hover" over the selected 
photo to activate the larger thumbnail view would solve this.

Note: I'm not sure the same functionality should be employed in the 
add/arrange/delete mode within the edit family...it seems to me it would be 
problematic when trying to drag an image to a new location (unless, perhaps, 
the "hover-to-enlarge" functionality is only activated by cursor location, but 
is immediately turned off the instant the mouse is clicked to drag the image).

I think we can do this -- I'll verify tomorrow.

Yes, this is going to get tricky as two different mouse events will be firing 
at the same time -- we'll try it though ...

Thank you!

Both of these are done.

I 100% agree with you that this was a very much needed improvement.  Last 
night, I was editing captions on a number of images and I realized that it's 
hard to distinguish the context just by looking at the tiny thumb especially 
when the picture was taken a while ago.  In fact, I realized that having a 
permanently enlarged version of the currently edited image instead of a 
temporary "hover" glimpse is simply a necessity.

And on the Arrange/Delete/Add image screen I was able to add similar "enlarge" 
functionality we already have on the Virtual Gallery page where if you click on 
the image it gets enlarged with the background grayed out (aka "lightbox" 
effect).

Thank you for bringing this up again!  Great idea!

I'm "glad" you were able to experience first-hand the difficulty I encountered 
before requesting the enhancement.

I "tested" both feature enhancements you've made and give them an A+ rating! 
Thanks for your quick response to requests.

Thanks for the thumbs up!

UPDATE:
   There was a small issue on the Arrange/Delete/Add screen, when both 
"double-click to delete" and "click to enlarge" events were firing at the same 
time causing an image to be enlarged right after it was being deleted (very 
confusing).  To circumvent it I had to change the "lightbox" type functionality 
with a "hover" that you originally suggested, I think it works better now ...
