P: Provide a large preset preview when you hover over a preset

I have numerous presets. It is a hassle to not be able to see the image options in the main viewing window but just the minature navigator window which is not realistic to use to see possible outcomes. If we could hoover our mouse over the preset and see them as we go on, it would increase productivity (ctrl z, preset, cnrll z), and be easy on our capacity for production.

When hovering over presets, the navigation panel just doesnt get it.   Why not show the preview on the actual image without applying?   Would be a smart move on Adobes part.

Yes, this would be really convenient. I used to use Aperture and I'm pretty sure I was able to do the large viewer preset preview in it.

I released a new version of Any Preset that works around LR's GPU bug (which also caused the wrong previews on second displays).

Would love to have an option to switch the navigator view and main view in the Develop module in LR. I realize this is process heavy, but as I try to view different presets for the best image result the navigator thumbnail is sometimes not enough and a larger view would be great.

Yes, unfortunately a LR bug prevents it from working properly with the GPU enabled in Develop mode. Re the issue with 2 monitors, could you please email details of the problem at the support email address listed in the Support section of the Any Preset Web page? Thanks much.

it's surprising that such a basic functionality has not been added in at least four years and several major revisions...

It looks like it doesn't work with the GPU enabled in Develop mode. Also, with 2 monitors it seems to get confused and displays previews for different presets on different monitors.

I moved the preset-preview functionality of Any Source into a separate plugin, Any Preset.

I agree with this suggestion. Honestly, it doesn't make much sense as a user for me to have a little tiny preview where I have to watch to see how a preset may effect my image when I have the large image. Seems like a waste of space to have the tiny preview. In my experience, my eye is typically on my main large image in the develop module, then I have to take my eye off of the main image to focus on my preset list and then watch the tiny preview window to see how it looks, apply the preset and then undo if I don't like it and try again. It causes the eye to constantly go back and forth around the screen. I'd like to be able to look at my main image and hover over the preset one at a time to see how each one looks without taking my eye off the image. It would save a lot of time and frustration. I understand if applying the preset to a smaller image could be better for the computer's resources, but give users the option to apply the preset preview to the large main image or the small image so they can choose.
