Discussion on Google Image Relinker with Mouseover | Userscripts.org

Can we have the mouseover without the relinker?, replied by knetworx

I like the mouseover feature, but I don't want the image link to change. Most of the time, I want to see the page the image came from, not the image in its own window.

Hey cool script. I just made a similar one for Amazon: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35036
I see you hide the popover image when the mouse cursor leaves the original thumbnail. Good idea, I might try that. Right now I hide the popover when the mouse cursor leaves the popover...

Would be really awesome script if option was available to resize the pop up image automatically! It's a real pain in the *** to scroll around!

Oh my goodness... don't know how I didn't notice the popups weren't working when I did this.

I wish I could remove these last 2 comments. Next time I'll make sure I have it right.

Sorry!

Hey, I just fixed my problem by commenting on the following line:

window.addEventListener("load", alterLinks, false);

Nice, now I have the control I want.

Thank you! :)

Hi!

Great script, thank you for that, but may I make a request?

Very often, I like to see the context in which the photos/images are inserted, to learn more about them. So it would be really great if you would make it an option in the source as to what happens when you click the image.

So it would be, for example, a variable at the top of the source, with value 0 to remain the link untouched and thus, go to google's link when clicked; or value 1 to open directly the image.

I would appreciate that very much. It's the only reason why I'm not using your script all the time, since it's a real annoyance to me.

Thank you very much! Good work.

Nevermind. It was a conflict with another script.

Is it just me or does this script no longer work?

@Gasoline

I have added the script Picsearch with Mouseover. Give it a try.

Can you please port or create a similar script for picsearch.com (they have a useful animation search option)
Thanx in advance

Thanks, I find the other script to be quite handy and was just wondering if I should take the time to switch to yours.

Both seem to be very well done.

@JakeS

Not much. That's why I added my comment on that script page. Its also about personal preference. I like my pop-ups next to my images, allows me to preview them faster. But this doesn't work too well for large images, where the other script scores.

How is this script different from this one: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7863 ??

@Can't Say No

Thanks. It seems there really was a compatibility problem with CustomiseGoogle. I have updated the script. Please try again.

@Can't Say No

500X...huh!...I thought it will be more like 50X:)

I understand the middle column/large photo issue. Nothing much can be done for it. This Script's purpose was just to provide a quick preview. If the image is too big, then we just have to click on it.

And that's why clicking on image or "Origin Image" link should have taken you to the actual image. You can see the source, it checks if CustomizeGoogleOptions has already done its thing.

Are you sure you have just my Script & CustomizeGoogleOptions installed and no other Extension/Script for Google Image Search? Not even Patrick Cavit's Script or Eric Hamiter's Extension?

I just installed CustomizeGoogleOptions on this machine which already had my Script and everything is working fine.

A few quirks...

When both are installed, this script appears to disable CustomizeGoogle's "Rewrite links to point straight to the images" functionality.

I can imagine the coding is a pain, but this script also has real problems positioning and displaying large images, especially wide ones. If a middle column Google Image result happens to be a wide photo, you have to engage in a long, uphill battle trying to keep the mouse hovered over the photo whilst scrolling left and right with the arrow keys in order to actually view the entire image. Ultimately, it takes about 500x longer to see the image as it would by just clicking CustomizeGoogle's "origin image" link, which, as I mentioned above, this script disables. And if you happen to be using a mouse without a scroll wheel, seeing the full pop-up of a large/tall image seems like it would be an impossibility.
