I finally got around and updated to V.7; obviously it takes some getting used to...
One thing I liked about the old version was the ability to stretch images ( covers ) dimensions to your liking on the Carousel View; I edited every cover one by one to be able to see them as I like them. This new Carousel View does not allow for me to stretch them bigger than default...
Ok, so now I recovered the image from the parameters available among the Main Grid Tools.
Still, I can not figure out how to stretch the thumbnails on the grid; also, Can I get rid of the annoying light blue square just below every image eating up precious grid space ?
You should press the mini icon on the top right to enter in the configuration, then right click on the layout and select "Size Constraints -> Free size"
Then you should be able to modify the size of picture.
Free Sizing gives the weird light blue background frame crazy shapes and does not follow AT ALL the visual parameters I set. I did prefer A LOT MORE the easyness with which we uesed to render bigger / smaller cover pictures with a slider on the top right corner of the grid.
Sometimes all these choices just create confusion. Maybe it's just me who's a little slow here; all I want is for those light blue frames to GO AWAY and leave my cover pictures alone so that I can resize them...
