Images handling

[mimecine]

• Thumbnails should use object-fit: contain instead of cover - often you need to see the whole image. Maybe under a media_library config flag, defaulting to cover?
• Clicking a thumbnail anywhere should open a dialog with the full (contained) image and the info panel, as in the media library. Probably with the exception of in the list view of a collection. Maybe it can be done by sending you to the media library entry, preview mode.
• Speaking of the info panel, it seems the "used by" feature is broken. Always says "None".
• With these changes, the thumbnail in the info panel can be tossed. It's marginally larger than the thumbnail in the tile pane anyway.
• Oh I'd love to have the ability to crop and rotate images right from the media library... And an advanced plus would be a choice to keep the original.

To clarify, the above are wishes and observations, not demands... Realizing it came across very harsh, ugh.

What thumbnails are you talking about? In the Asset Library, thumbnails are already displayed with object-fit: contain unless you’re on mobile. In the Content Library, entry thumbnails have object-fit: cover, but that’s intentional. These two pages serve different purposes.

Clicking a thumbnail anywhere should open a dialog with the full (contained) image and the info panel, as in the media library. Probably with the exception of in the list view of a collection. Maybe it can be done by sending you to the media library entry, preview mode.

That shouldn’t happen in the content library, where thumbnails are just a way to help you find entries faster.

Speaking of the info panel, it seems the "used by" feature is broken. Always says "None".

Not sure why, but I can check. Is this your site? https://github.com/mimecine/dev.atelierromeny.com

The Asset Library could be displayed in a list view, so we still need an image there.

Image editing is on the roadmap.
