I am not sure which size is provided and which one is not. I will check on this.. possibly add some way of displaying additional info without extra clutter on the screen

@aknarts,

possibly add some way of displaying additional info without extra clutter on the screen

Being able to see this at a glance is important, though. Consider a GUI similiar to Firefox's for the popup in question

and a table view, like Dolphin's, for a more advanced view (if desirable)

There used to be a Download tab... that got moved to the dropdown, we can quite possibly bring back the tab in sort of a hidden way and have it accessible from the dropdown. I need to think about it a bit.

As for the table view, that was always the plan for the assets as the icon view does get quite big with large amount of assets available.
