Better integration with Lightbox2

I want to offer one more request.

We can choose fields, which should be displayed in image node. It would be great if we can choose fields, which should be displayed in Lightbox2 window too. For example: title, author, description.

The reason - I think, it is better to stay in one "Lightbox2" environment all time while watching gallery, rather than need to use node view.

These are all great suggestions but I do not have time to integrate them right now. I'll happily accept code snippets or, even better, patches.

I'll try, but I have not enough skills...
A suppose to use option of Lightbox2 http://drupal.org/node/276378?, and send not an image, but a full image node, or a list of fields.
I now need to understand content of $image.

I made these changes in node_gallery_lightbox2.module
function node_gallery_lightbox2_preprocess_gallery_image_thumbnail(&$vars)

 ... 
case NODE_GALLERY_VIEW_IMAGE_LIST:
      if ($config['gallery']['gallery_display_type'] == 'lightbox2_gallery') {
        $vars['image_output'] = l(theme('image_view', $config['image_size']['thumbnail'], $image),
         'node/'. $image->nid.'/lightbox2',
          array('html' => TRUE, 'attributes' => array('rel' => 'lightframe[hi|width:700px; height:600px;]')));
      }
      break;

Then I remove some unnecessary data from node-image-default.tpl.php.
And I get it :)

So, it is need two steps
1. add new veiw to module
2. add template for this view

But modal and iframe window have constant size! It's terrible :(
I postes request here http://drupal.org/node/629668

I don't know anything about Lightbox2, but as NG3 is based on Views, Imagefield and Imagecache, shouldn't all this integration already be possible out of the box? Lightbox2 states it supports those modules natively.

My opinion is that the lightbox module in contrib will simply go away in NG3 because all the integration is out-of-the-box. I hesitate to close this issue, because I personally haven't ever used the contrib lightbox module. I don't know if it offers anything that NG3 doesn't? Maybe @kmonty can chime in?

Anything that can be done with the Lightbox2 module should work with NG3 now - the lightbox2 submodule has been completely removed from NG3.
