I wanted to do that already... terrible how in the end I did forget to
attach the files...

Well, I think I really wouldn't want continuous scroll for images. So I
think a separate
library for image galleries would be better. I think the logic for only
showing full images
is a slightly simpler and therefore could be made more flexible. Creating
the overlays is
really just a few lines. But I am not sure, how exactly the code for an
image gallery
should look like. Maybe in the end, some code could be shared.

Yes, like in the Proof of Concept, all overlays are inserted at once, but
they are 'triplet'
only showing a triplet of images at the time. So the full buffer can be
scrolled with the
mouse/scroll-bar, but for some reason updating the images in that case does
not seem
to work yet (although from the code I would expect it should).

Anyway, This time I'll send the message including the attachments... you
can have a look
(see first message for instructions, if necessary).
