I was thinking about this this morning when working out how http:// 
www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ might be used to present  
images in blog or a photoalbum rewrite or in an ecommerce module  
where you want small images in the description but big images, or  
multiple images.

I'd like to see a core Image class instead of bundling into File like  
we used to. Maybe it's parent is File so that there's common  
functions but there's different requirements often such as  
thumbnailing, resizing, watermarking and viewing.

I was also thinking that an 'album' class was needed to manage a  
group of images or maybe this should be able to more generally manage  
a group of files including audio, video and normal files. Then with  
an album core class available it'd be easier to upload, present and  
manage multiple images in a standard way across the modules.


Have a play with lightbox2 btw. It's lovely.
