Media viewer consultation
Hi, I realise it's been ages since the consultation, but I wanted to respond to what you asked at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Multimedia/About_Media_Viewer/Archive03#Nice_feature.2C_lots_of_room_for_improvement

As pointed out by Scott, the purpose of the demo is to show a blurry preview which, when you click "Load", is replaced with a high-resolution image that loads slowly from top to bottom.

Obviously the Media Viewer would not require you to click anything and would simply start loading the high-res one straight away, but the point is this. The current media viewer shows only the low-res thumbnail until the high-res image finishes loading completely. My demo overlays the partially loaded high-res image on top, so that you can see the progress very clearly and also see the top part of the high-res image before the rest is finished, to decide if you even want to wait for it.
