I've recently switched to Thunder from Sync, but am surprised that there's not an option to resize tall images to the display size. When opening an image in full screen, it does this, but not in the feed or when opening a post. Basically this would be an option in between card view and full height imagea, for images which are taller than the display window.

This is an egregious example, but this post takes up so much of the feed when full height images is set. Also, I'm not sure about most instances, but they seem to resize the thumbnail aggressively on tall posts, so even if full height images without resizing is your preference, the quality looks terrible anyway, and you're forced to click into the post to see the full size image.

Anyway, maybe I'm missing some settings, but this behavior seems like something someone else would have wanted, but I don't see it as a setting.

I switched to thunder from connect recently and had the same question. As it happened I was in GitHub for something else and looked it up, it's a known issue because instances don't have picture height as part of their meta information so the only way to find out how big an image is would be to load it. Something to do with the way thunder is designed precludes this.

Next Lemmy version gets around this issue, once the instances start switching to it.

This is great news! Thanks for looking it up. Was it this PR: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1594 ? Seems like it's been merged, so hopefully will be released soon!
