About

BBC News Scotland  publishes amateur photos every week on a simple web page (e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy9q390gynvo).  It's full of beautiful views of the country, but this is a better way to view them, taking account of their different dimensions. 

This extension organises the photos into a new window of thumbnails.  When clicked, a photo is opened into a slide view (the original caption of the photo is included and the photographer is attributed).  Next/Previous and arrow-key navigation can be used to browse.

To use it, go to any BBC photos page and press the extension's button.  It also works on the BBC In Pictures pages https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in_pictures
