Image Popup / Modal

7 votes

When clicking an image in a note, i'd like the image to "pop up" in the editor itself, instead of opening in a browser window.

Note: on the modal/pop-up if it's implemented.

When expanded to it's full size (in the pop-up), the image should expand the image's WIDTH to up to it's original width, and let HEIGHT overflow past the pop-ups boundary if it's really long. (EG, when the pop-up is open, should be able to scroll down the image if it's really long ).

I say this because some notes apps with 'image' pop-ups like I'm describing try to "fit" all of the popped-up image inside the actual pop-up. (Like evernote and nimbus notes).

That's fine if you have an image with a normal aspect ratio. When it's a really long picture, a screenshot of a webpage or something, that behavior makes the image really small.

Apologies if this has been suggested already. I couldn't find it.

And yes, I'm really into image pop-ups!

When an image is attached to a rich footnote it is possible to left-click once to open a "big thumbnail" as a kind of small overview which is fine. Many times one would need a detailed zoomed view. This should be possible left-clicking again into the "big thumbnail" and then dragging the mouse pointer around on the "big thumbnail area" keeping the mouse button pressed. "Directory Opus 12" filemanager has this implementation and it is very useful. Instantly available when needed, never in the way. The full screen size is used for magnification without any frame around. As soon as the mouse button is released the zoom window disappears.

OR

As another mechanism when the mouse pointer hovers over the link for n milliseconds (please allow user to customize this value) a zoomed view would open in a popup window and dragging around the mouse would again change the magnification area.
