--- Comment #25 from Tisza Gergő <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Pau Giner from comment #21) > what we can do is to limit the image exploration through next/prev to just > one back state This is fairly close to how Google+ Photos works (with the exception that they do nuke the history when you exit the lightbox). As said above, I am highly skeptical of the claim that something done by Facebook and Google could be a horrible usability blunder. They have the manpower for detailed usability tests, and the image viewer is a central, highly visible feature both in Facebook and in Google+. If Pau is interested in doing some user tests to get more reliable information on what users feel natural, I can write some JS snippets which modify the history behavior from user JS. Otherwise, I would still be comfortable with assuming that whatever Google or Facebook does is probably well tested, and going with that. (Assuming that we can do the history nuking thing for browsers without History API. I am not sure how exactly they achieve that, but the History API has conceptually the same operations as the old window.location API, so I expect it will be possible to do the same.) As for the current behavior, bug 67008 would make it somewhat more comfortable. I have a patch mostly ready for that, I'll finish it this weekend. (In reply to Gilles Dubuc from comment #22) > The argument of browsing 25/50/100 images is blown out of proportions. Most > articles don't have anything close to 20 images on them. I think what relevant for us is how many images a reader usually sees in an article; in other words, articles should be weighed by their pageview count. I expect frequently viewed articles are better written and have many images. We don't have the right stats to calculate an average, but as a quick experiment, the top 10 enwiki pages (per stats.grok.se) have 20, 18, 4, 30, 3, 1, 8, 30, 9 and 0 images in them, respectively (not counting portal icons etc), so articles with ~20 images are not that infrequent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
