How do I get all pictures to show in Library?

I'm used to seeing all my photos from a folder in the Library mode. I double click and I get the image blown up to full view in the app and then double click again it goes back to showing all the photos in the folder. I must have triggered something because now a double click only shows one size photo. I can scroll to the next one but I want it to be a grid of all my photos. Sure I have the film strip at the bottom but I want to go back to double click showing me the folder contents.

Another suggestion-

In Grid View [G] - Check the Thumbnail Zoom slider on the Tool bar. If is set hard-right you will only see one 'thumbnail' on the screen.

If you do not see the Tool Bar- Press [ T ] to toggle it visible.

If you do not see the Thumbnail Size slider click on the 'Down arrow' to show the Tool Bar options-

Thank you all. Rob, you were right. It was the T that fixed it. Without that I could not see the Thumbnail slider. Thanks to all for chiming in. I'm back in business.

Thanks for your help but none of those tips change anything. I'm in Library mode, I can see my filmstrip across the bottom of the screen, I'm not in Compare or N Survey mode. Space bar gives me a slight enlargment. "G" changes it to a scoll mode so that I can scroll up and see other pictures below but nothing moves me to the Grid mode where all are on one page in thumbnails. Still looking for the solution.

Your setting for thumbnail size is probably set to gigantic:

This is weird. I posted this hours ago and just now I get notice that it I posted something. Anyway this appears to be the same thought as Rob had.

from the grid view you can go to a single photo view by hitting the spacebar, double clicking the image or hitting the [E] key (without any modifier keys).

to go back from a single photo view, hit the [G] key (again without modifiers) or hit [ESC].
going back from development mode to library mode with grid view, hit the [G] key.

your double click problem dosn't show up here with me. one double click on an image in the library grid view => single image fits screen, another double click in this single image => back to grid view.
maybe you've set the single image view size to another size than fit into window...

And what happens when you press the keyboard shortcut [ G ].?

Pressing the 'G' key is indeed the easiest method to go back to Grid view. You may be in Survey view (you pressed 'N'), or Compare view (you pressed 'C') right now, or indeed in another module.

You might have switched to Develop mode where double clicking just zooms in and out.
