Display bigger version of a photo on a tooltip

[David Prieto <frandavid100 gmail com>]

Hi all,

I've just filed this as a feature request on bugzilla, but would like to
know everyone's opinion on it: I recently discovered that pressing the
"v" key while you hover over the browser brings up a bigger version of
the photo, that also shows you the photo's comment and some additional
data. I find it extremely useful for browsing photos without having to
open edit mode, but the fact that I had to sunk deep into the manual to
find it tells me it's quite undiscoverable.

Having that very same data appear as a tooltip when you hover the mouse
over a picture would bring it to light and be much more discoverable for
the casual user. I don't think it would be excessively hard to implement
either.

So, what do you think of it?
