I already posted this suggestion(on old IPS 4.0 test installation, which currently unavailable) and this idea was supported by many people, but it still not implemented. So, i've attached some images above.

How is it now:

More than 80% of space completely not used. There are only 7 scanty thumbnails and nothing else.

What i suggest:

Pros: 

  • 24 images easily fit on one page
  • At same time thumbnails are larger, which makes them more comfortable to view
  • This grid can be adaptive > a very big advantage for mobile users
  • etc... In old topic the benefit was described in more detail, but old board is gone. So if someone have a questions, just ask.

File names are not always just 2 characters long as in your example. My current dialogue box looks like this:

That might be your opinion, but maybe the text that is cut off contains useful information to identify a file. Therefore cutting off text should only be used where absolutely necessary. And in my opinion, that isn’t the case here. 

Full file name can be visible on mouse over popup. Becides, I think filename is rarely meaningful, while larger thumbnails are much more useful. In your example Ralf, i'd much rather have larger thumbnail of the pic then the long and completely useless facebook file name. 

Fully agree with MR13. Can this be made via simple template edit instead of asking the heavy IPS machine to move?

Don’t forget the responsive design and the smaller screens. That’s why this window looks the way it does in the first place. 

Vertical display of attachments.  

I hate it with a passion. 

I liked 3.4 where we could see a page of thumbs and search by actual app. Sometimes you don't know the name and the app selection shows that app's results only making finding it easier. Search by date would be great too.

We can certainly look into improving that popup. And thank you for brightening my day with those annotated screenshots ;)

@Mr 13 We love your doodles, you've made us all laugh this morning. In a good way too. Thanks!
