viewing large moviepicture

first and for all: AMC is "da bomb"

but I've got 1 issue, and suggestion to solve it:
I use DVD covers from cdcovers.cc as moviepicture, so typical dimensions are 1500x1000px. When I click on the small moviepicture (bottom left) to open the original file, it's still resized to fit my 1280x1024 flatscreen. The resize quality isn't that good in my opinion, so 9/10 times the text on the cover is (heavily) deformed.

Maybe there could be a workaround by adding the option to open the picture with an external viewer, like IrfanView.
Using a better resize-algorithm is another possibility, but I guess that will take more effort

I could use a better algorithm, but for that I would have to include an additionnal component in AMC, there are already too many things included (for toolbars, printing engine, main tree/list, scripting, etc.)
So launching an external viewer would be a much easier solution

I'll put it on my to-do list
