Hi Stella,
Thanks for your quick response on http://drupal.org/node/272437.

I can understand your design decision not to change the behaviour of the frame when it comes to photographs. So I thought about this more and I realized that my real problem is that I don't really want zooming on some text-heavy screenshots in the first place, especially not very small reductions, because that tends to make the text look very bad. My large images are already sized to fit into a normal browser window at a screen resolution of 1024x768, but Lightbox2 wants to reduce them by another 5%, even though the unzoomed image fits fully into the window (but perhaps not all of the Lightbox frame).

So what I would really like is to disable the zooming for those kinds of images, while I wouldn't mind leaving it on in general. Perhaps a parameter in the image link could accomplish this?

Unfortunately, this is not something I plan on implementing at the moment. It would just add further complexity to the module at a time when I'm trying to make it more lightweight and faster. I also don't see it as a feature that many other users would want, and so unless more users request it, I won't be adding this feature, sorry.

Cheers,
Stella

Ok, thanks. A good software developer has to be able to say no to a feature when other features provide more value. I'll play around with this more to see if I can work around my issue.

I had a quick look at the code and saw that it would be very easy to implement my request by adding a new type to the rel='xxx' way of marking img tags for lightbox. So if I do end up implementing this for myself, I might post the patch here in case someone else should be interested, although I won't expect you to incorporate it.

Thanks,
Bodo
