Your script is awesome, but it doesn't work when the script at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6331 is also running which rewrites the image link to the big size image from imageshack or imagevenue. Is it possible to make them work together?

Thanks,

use one of these:
chrome://global/skin/icons/loading_16.png
chrome://browser/skin/places/searching_16.png

cool :)

In order to make the popup appear over Snap.com popups I made the z-index super high, as well (9 million) (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8798).

The code looks to be modified from the snap.com code - so it shouldn't be too hard to integrate snap.com images into this script (instead of openthumbs). Should also be possible to have the popup appear above the cursor if at the bottom of the window, and to the left of the cursor if at the right of the window (like snap.com popups).

Thanks for an awesome script!

it'd be cool to show thumbshots for non-images; just prefix "http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=" before the url. I've managed to change it to do this, but it changes the actual url so clicking takes you there.
also, if you hover an image all the way on the right, it makes the page wider and sticks out on the right. It'd be nice to keep the popups within the page.

great script!

personal preferences:
var thumbsize = 384;//LR: max dim of thumb
tt.style.top=(posy-32)+'px';//LR: move image up a bit

How about full-page previews next?
I'd also love to see an option to disable image links to images (i.e. thumb hover) - but make it a var so we can set/unset it (i.e. var showthumbhover=true;)
It should also be possible to show the partial image as it loads, instead of a loading icon (i.e. gif progressively improving; jpg loading in 20px lines at a time)

Hi, i had a nice idea for a greasemonkey script, hopefully it might be of use to you.

Allow a fullsize preview of the largest image in any web page when mousing over a linked image (ie a thumb). You would grab the linked page and filter out the largest image on mouseover.

This would dramatically speed up gallery browsing, there would be no need to visit each image page and it would work with virtually all sites.

Cheers

My god I love this script...

there are a few kinks though. It only seems to work with text links to an image, which is fine, though it still displays the loading spiral when you hover over an image link to an image. (Hope thats clear lol)

Disabling it altogether for image links to an image would be good since they're usually thumbs anyway.

At least I think thats whats wrong :P

You can test it on 4chan or 7chan to see what I mean.
