Note that with the current patch, images that are also links are not working (i.e. clicking on them loads the image but doesn't follow the link). I understand that left-clicking to load an image is quite handy. Now, FLTK2 has a nice feature with popups and it's that they can remember a menuitem position. If we make the right click popup remember the "load image" item, the same easeness of user interface may be attained (you may look in the test/menu program inside fltk2 sources).
Oops! Images that are links work in my personal tree, but I overlooked in when making the patch... The first click loads the image, and subsequent ones follow the link.
Are you saying that you would prefer that it be moved to the menu anyway? I've been using left click to load for years now, and I would find it significantly less convenient to use the menu for every image...
The point is that it may be handy to follow an image-link without loading the image (I'm not sure how useful though). The idea is to try how does it work with the right-click-popup + item preselection. This is you right click (don't move the mouse), and the "load image" item is right there, and thus you can just right-click to load an image and also right click + move mouse for other options. If this is not as useful as the former, we can go back (or make it a preference), but I see some value in trying, because that way, the orthogonality of the UI, as a whole, is preserved. -- Cheers Jorge.-
