The idea here is to have a way to add a simple list/grid of smaller images, reorderable via the field draggable.
You can approximate this now using a bunch of the image panes, or a view, but these are pretty clunky for this case - either you change the image styles and lose the ability to have large images, or you use views and don't have a way to reorder images without bolting on more stuff.
The current patch has a very simple implementation of this, using a multiple media field.
I am not sure if this is something of interest to the project maintainers - if not, I am happy to throw this in an "extras" project or similar.
If so, I am open to input on exactly how this should work - for instance, do we want a smaller thumbnail via the media view mode, do we want linkable thumbnails (which would probably involve something like the spotlight widget)?

dsnopekThanks, Owen! This sounds cool. :-) Can you add a screenshot of what it looks like in practice?
I haven't had a chance to review it yet, so I can't say yet whether or not it makes sense in upstream Panopoly or not.

dsnopekWhile this sounds super cool, we're not adding any new features to Panopoly 1.x. However, this would be a great App for Panopoly, and if you created it, we'd be happy to add it to the Panopoly app server (so users can select it during install)!
