Mr. Lance E Sloan (UMich) (ID: 000000cf082aad3f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/23/2019 It doesn't work exactly the way I would like, but it's not bad. I'd rather be able to activate it from the contextual menu, rather than the icon bar. I may be able to get around that by setting a keyboard shortcut. It would also be helpful if it showed the value of images' "title" attributes and MIME types. Also, if used on a site like pixabay.com as shown in the video, if you get the info for an image, then you want to click on the "File URL" or copy the "Alt text" field, but you pass over another image on the way to the "Pic info" overlay, the info changes to that of the other image. For that reason, its UI needs an update. Maybe a pause keyboard shortcut or a contextual menu activation.
