In order for the maximum size constraints to take effect, the image would have to be at least the size of the web browser window (minus a handful of pixels), so the affected images are usually going to be pretty big. Are there any common use cases for displaying a large image without scaling (and hence, with scrolling)? >> >> Thanks, >> Andrew >> > > It sounds like your usecase is exactly what camlistore.org tries to achieve. Yes. With that said, I don't think it's unreasonable for a software project to contain images larger than a browser window. And, when that happens, I'm pretty confident that the default behavior should be to scale the image down so the user can see the whole thing. - Andrew -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
