It would be great if the user click anywhere on the picture, not only the zoom-icon. This is a often learned interaction with pictures and some of the newcomers might not recognize that "zoom icon" as being "not part of the picture".

Any cons on that approach?

You have a point, people are used to clicking on images.

I'm thinking we should also make this feature optional, because I can see this being requested anyway.

I am also thinking that perhaps we should just link the image itself, and forget about the view full link (and icon) - Thoughts?

OK, I figured I would take action on this, so I have comitted the above mentioned changes, we now have an extra setting to enable or disable the linking, and I have removed the link itself with the icon. The icon is still in the sprite though, we'll deal with that later.

Hey! Great!

Well i would not remove the icon though - it helps not advanced users to get what could happen. So i would combine both.

Yes, I agree. Committed the change that gets the icon within the link itself. I think it even improves accessibility as well as usability.

Thanks again for your input EugenMayer!
