I’m doing a refactor of images in general. Right now the library I use for the image modal is :| so I’m forking that and reworking it. I’ll add what you’re asking for with the photos too.
As for smaller, I’m fine with doing something to make that happen (maybe as three different settings then, one for large mode, one for “normal” and one for “compact”). What would you want to see in compact that is different/smaller? Cheers!
