Layout mode

[edgan]

Features:

1. Always Preview

• It always shows an preview image for a post instead of just a thumbnail.

2. Card

• It is like Always Preview. The order is title, image, subtitle, and comments button instead of title, subtitle, comments button, and image. I prefer this mode given the large images. This order naturally makes the comment button more accessible.

3. Layout mode

• Preference in the Images section of settings to switch between Thumbnails(Default), Always Preview, and Card

4. Added image preview in the post header for Always Preview and Card
5. Added image preview for reddit album/gallaery posts in Always Preview and Card

I tested toggling between all three modes repeatedly. I also made sure the layout was as expected per mode. I did this testing on my Google Pixel 8 Pro running Android 15.

I did the translations for languages that I could find the prefs_category_images_video string within the file for that language. I double checked the translations. Added dates to the translation additions to follow what seem be a convention.

IMHO, all these features combined massive improves the usability in image dominated subreddits like /r/pics.
