Hey there, not sure where to post this, but I wrote a Tampermonkey script to enhance the gallery view a little for ease of quick browsing and figured somebody else might like using it.
On hover of any image container in the gallery, it shows two buttons:
- Magnifying glass:
Gets the source for the requested element and opens a preview.
It also provides a download button underneath.
There are two behaviors based on media type:
Images: Inline the original image
Gifs/Video: Grab the source and inline it
Clicking outside of the preview or hitting the Escape button closes the preview again.
- Arrow pointing down:
Download the original image or media source file
I built it for modern browsers in mind as I don't provide any fallback logic for older browsers.
The way the script works is it simply follows the post URL for the selected image/video, scans the page for the correct source and returns that.
So if you have a slower internet connection, it might take a little to get there, but in almost all cases it shouldn't really get in the way.
