Auto expand interface

[kb50]

When using (Linux Mint) SMPlayer, if the audio folder contains thumbnails or cover art, it will display the art automatically. That is fine, but it seems to cause the player interface to collapse to a smaller size thus hiding the player control buttons. You end up having to resize the window to reveal them. It also hides your custom or colored icons as well. Is there a way to cause it to automatically resize to be sure all the controls are visible?
I can go down into the panel volume to do the multimedia functions but only a few. It does not do this IF thumbnails or cover art isnt there, but if it is, then it picks it up and changes size.

Also it does not open up a lot the image itself is in the center. That part I could care less about anyhow. Actually if you just made an option to not display thumbnails or cover art, that would work out. I would just delete all the jpg but it automatically downloads them, or other apps may download them into said folders anyhow.

I love SMPlayer because it will work with Network Shares (Like VLC) but prefer its interface over VLC.
Fix this one problem and it is about the best player in either Windows or Linux.
Another future idea, crossfading might be nice but nothing special.

Also for most video I watch the Video Player seems to take precedence and does not allow SMPlayer to come up. I know I think you have to take Thunar on a Journey and set Open With to associate all different video files. Perhaps in the future to get it to associate (like VLC) to the various file types that it supports. It opens fine if opened from SMPlayer of course, but not from Thunar (File Browser).
I say Thunar as I run XFCE Linux Mint my choice.

Thanks. Its still just a great Media Player and YouTube browser, which by the way seems to filter out MOST of the ads that you usually have to see in most YouTube or certainly within the Browser.
That also ranks it way about the normal.'

I never experienced that problem.
