But i have an request : You said: "...tries to avoid showing the preview image near your mouse cursor..." But on my configuration ( Win7, Firefox 8.0 and the last greasemonkey addon)with a large screen (1920x1080), the popup preview appear randomly at each corner of the screen : it's not very easy.... It' only me or a general issue ?

It does so by dividing the screen into four quadrants. If the mouse is in one quadrant, then the image will appear in the diagonally opposite quadrant, if that makes sense. So, it's not random but it may appear so if your mouse is near the center of the screen. Having said that, I will see if I can incorporate a setting that toggles this behaviour in future versions.

I had some difficulty to find the configuration , but now i found it : the Config Menu Icon is at bottom right of the screen (I just reduce it size with css : too big for me). I appreciate all the options you give in it : Now , i just need to tune it.... :-) First test : I like the preview near the cursor ....but when the thumb is near the border of the screen , the preview begin to appear semi hidden out of the screen at a wrong place and after it take its good place. It's a little bit confuse and take more time to have the preview. Requests : - The loading is a little bit slow ; I test to change the preview size, and it's the same : can we have an option to pre-load the preview on page load? - An option for the "preview near the cursor" to open principally (when is possible) at the top right of it(or maybe bottom right) and , to be able to continue to watch the other thumbs, not too close of the thumb row. When we are too close of a border right/top the preview change of location and open in the window. - Can we have a fade in loading ?(i don't remember how to say that in english, sorry)

I set it to 0 but it is not an instant preview : I try to compare with my other preview tool (Splash album viewer Fixed) and It seems that your wait the entire page load to give us the preview... I appreciate a lot your "Snap to the cursor" option. Maybe give it an other name like "Preview image to follow your mouse cursor". Your config menu: I don't understand if "Max Display Width/Max Display Height" and "Auto-size Screen Width %"/"Auto-size Screen Height %" work at the same time and what is the interaction with "Fetch Image Size" ?

Jan 20, 2013 4:09am Anand kumar Script's Author	Hi decembre, Thanks for your support and feedback. Yes, the script waits for the page to load or else the browser won't let it add the preview image DOM element. I will check out the script that you linked and see if I can change this behavior in my script. Regarding the config options, "Max Display Width/Height" and the "Auto-size" options are "either/or" options. Only if the "Enable Auto size" is checked, the auto size values are used. I will see if I can enable/disable the text boxes depending on whether the check box is checked or not. "Fetch Image Size" determines the size of the image requested from the Flickr server. Flickr supports many sizes for preview images. Medium is 640 pixels and large is 1280 pixels. You can choose one of the these two options depending on how big you set the "Max display width/height". You can usually leave it at "Medium" unless you have a large monitor. Setting it to fetch the "Large" image will obviously require more bandwidth than setting it to "Medium". Again, I will try to add this information in the config screen itself.
