WP4 Media Gallery

Probably not in core, but there are tons of plugins available: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?q=lightbox

Jetpack in particular has a module called “Carousel” which functions similar to a lightbox.

Oh, sorry, you meant the Media section in the Dashboard, didn’t you? If so, how would you reconcile the current behavior of clicking the image to edit its properties and see a larger (though, not full size) version?

Yep – I wasn’t sure what the new “gallery” option should be called.
Ideally I’d like a smaller section to slide up on hover with links to edit etc. So when you hover you see the edit link, when you click you see the full image.

Hm, that sounds interesting.

Did you have any developer or design experience you’d be willing to share? Community involvement is what makes open source software great. ??
