view full size profile photo

[wakest]

I often go to a persons profile and click on their photo to enlarge it. not being able to see someones full size profile image by quickly clicking on it is quite confusing and catches me off guard quite often

heres what it looks like on Mastodon web

and heres the same in Elk

ahhh I just saw this!

when did you add this? the only thing that would make it better is loading that image in a lightbox instead of a new window

Will be sticking with new window/tab. It's really minimum viable feature for now as the browser will auto-handle all the zoom and auto-fit of the image.

I am very impressed! Did you randomly start working on it 12 hours ago or was it because I posted this issue? The new tab/window thing works but on mobile PWA its quite jarring

@wakest I'm aware of this feature for some time, your issue randomly reminded me, it's pretty easy to add (without lightbox), the extra menu when clicking on the handle was already there to include this feature, and the timing was right.

I do get the jarring part, so will revisit this one day.
