Last time I made a suggestion we got a “title only” box in the search function of each of the forums - thought I might try my luck again.

RE: The owner’s manuals, and other Technical/Archive documents: Often times I find myself looking for a specific image or some information in this section, only to have to guess at which page that might be on. Or, I’d try to find the index, find the page number I need, then guess where that page might be.

Is there any way to have a slightly larger thumbnail occur when you hover your mouse over each individual jpg/page? That should enable a good enough look to see if it warrants opening that particular image.

I'll be up front and say this would potentially be an insane amount of work for me to update everything.

I use the Imagus script everywhere to do the same thing.
Chrome Store link:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/imagus/immpkjjlgappgfkkfieppnmlhakdmaab?hl=en
It's available for other browsers too
Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imagus/

Other browser links at https://tiny.cc/Imagus

It's very useful to popup a larger link for most places where there is a larger photo available.

I'm sure you can imagine other web sites and reasons where this might be very useful. Smile

Wow. That's amazing! I guess I'm a luddite, I had no idea such a thing existed. As John said, one click and all is fixed.

Thanks again, you the man.
