I must admit I'm not planning on this, but in the future it might be possible as an easy-win. The thing QuickPlay seems to do that other frontends don't is datagrid-style view with all the search and organisation possibilities you get that comes with that, and the grid combined with the media panel is a pretty fundamental part of how QuickPlay works. With new technologies it could be pretty trivial to turn the grid into this kind of shopfront as a view, but atm don't hold your breath! I do think this is the fundamental thing that makes QuickPlay different from other frontends, but I take your point that people sometimes want a shopfront as a possibility. You could try using the media panel to show the contents of a whole folder of images, and hide the main panel of QP, but the screenshots would fullscreen upon clicking, they wouldn't launch the game...

Thank you for the reply. I actually prefer the way Quick Play looks too, but seeing a gallery of screenshots is useful when you're going through a full set. Anyway, this is just a suggestion for the future.
