Hi - I've noted that when we now show simple pictures in player mode that they automatically appear already revealed - as opposed to previously where you turned them on manually.

This made much more sense as it gave you the time to prepare and re-size the window as the GM saw fit before revealing it - so tell me how removing this feature has been an improvement???

Can't please all the people all the time... It was requested by some.

To control this behaviour go to -
Manage tab
Select Preferences
On the left select "Player view"
In the section "Auto show and Reveal" you can change this behaviour.

Love this new behaviour. Took too long to do it previously and as above its optional.

A fair number of people asked for the change, and it definitely speeds up the process for those who want maximum efficiency (over maximum safety). We realized that not everybody would like it, so we put the preference in place so that everyone can choose the approach that works best for their style.

Thank you, @Avi, for pointing out where to access the preference!

Ah....well now that I know its optional then that's cool.

Personally, if you're going to reveal a picture and it needs altered then it can either be done before or after showing it to a player, so its not really a questions about speed but more about presentation.
