@Doten "for lots of people and this is one of those issues that almost
_everyone_ trips over."

I have found that old people (and I am as well talking about lots of people,
counted almost in three numbers) likes very much to see a big preview of the
photo in the album view. They want easily to see the photo and rotate it if
needed. But they expect to get the preview away easily or go to next one. And
they are afraid about clicking anything. And when I say "Just click the photo
once as you did to get the preview, you see the album again". And they just
like how intuitive the single click is, because I always configure the single
click function to system because they do not never know when to do single
click, when to do a double click, without mentioning when to do the right
click!

And many does not even understand how to use the wheel scroll otherplaces than
on website or in text editing (if they even know how to open such application).
And they use the zoom slider bottom of the screen and not wheel. At this point
it comes difficult to pan. Because for them, the wheel is up/down movement and
not in/out.

There is the bug in the current preview. It still shows the scrollbars even
that user have not zoomed in at all. 

And the idea to have a single click = close and single click + drag = pan. Can
cause problems even as well because even the basic dragging is very difficult
to people. They do mistakes on file management by dragging when clicking and
they get copying and other dialogs and errors in front of them.

So I would take the next functionality if a must.

System set to single click:
1. Click thumbnail in albumb view to get a preview
2. Click preview to get back to albumb view
3. Wheel or Zoom slider to zoom in/out
4. When zoomed in. The left mouse click would pan
5. Double clickin while zoomed in switch to albumb view (some people would
expect to get back to fit-to-screen zoom.)

Pros: User can easily open/close the preview
Cons: User can not wait to expect to know when to do double and when single
click.

System set to double click:
1. Double click in album view the thumbnail to get a preview
2. Double click in album view the preview to get to album view  (at any zoom
level)
3. Wheel / Zoom slider to zoom in/out
4. Left button drags when zoomed in.

Pros: No mistakes between single and double clicking

So what if we change to the feature what needs click+dragging to pan when
having a single click function enabled?
It brings question about how much we need to move cursor to start panning.
20-40px? Does user expect that when taking finger off the preview does not get
closed?

And should then be pop-upped the small thumbnail as clicking the pan button
where sliders cross on bottom right corner? People likes that because they can
see on what direction they are going.
