When using the plugin on Wikipedia i found one use case very appealing: Previewing associated images. In order to be able to read the text, i resize the search result list such that one row of images can be displayed (height) over the full width of the browser.
The idea would be to make this a separate visualisation, like the dashboard. More concretely:
- We make a new tab that uses the current search result list that filters all the images (media types).
- The images can be scrolled as cover flow (if you want to use a cover flow library, that is also fine with me).
- We add icons to resize left to the close marker (X). The resizing option docks the tab bottom with height of maximum one image size. Alternatively, the image size of one row can be adjusted to the height the user gives to the panel.
