UPDATE: I just found this option:
Settings shortcut: Media > Shown options when peeking
That’s where a “keep open” option could go, as well as a save button.
A lot of thumbanils have high resolution, and I want to see some detail on them without loading the article just to see it. Especially since mobile web pages most often don’t allow zooming anyway.
Another option would be to have a save button you could release your finger over to save the thumbnail.
Even if it is an image post, these buttons could be available since I often don’t pay attention to whether a post is an image post or not, and peek the image either way.
I could swear that back on the og app there was a download button in there or an option to show it, not sure if I’m imagining that or if it was rolled back for whatever reason
Is it something like this option? Settings shortcut: Media > Always show the download button
I don’t view many videos, let alone want to d/l, but it seemed relevant.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t think that’s quite the one I was thinking of but honestly I’m 90% sure I made this memory up lol
Lol - our brains are weird. Most memories are more like stories of the thing that happened, anyway :-P
