Description for all versions of Geothumbs prior to v5.0

Geothumbs is a greasemonkey script that replaces the small picture icons on geocaching.com cache pages with thumbnails of the actual images. It works with Firefox and Opera browsers.

Clicking an image thumbnail will pop-up the full sized image in the existing 'lightbox' feature. Clicking the sides of this full sized image will allow you to move between all the images currently shown on the cache page. Clicking the text description next to the image thumbnail will bypass the 'lightbox' and display the image directly. To provide some protection against seeing spoilers any image labelled as such will not be converted to a thumbnail.

For Firefox users a menu option is provided to configure geothumbs to your preferred operation. The menu is accessed by selecting Tools > Greasemonkey > User Script Commands. Alternatively the menu can be accessed by right clicking on the monkey icon at the bottom right of Firefox and selecting User Script Commands. The geothumbs options here will allow you to:
  • Show or not show cache owner images.
  • Show or not show image descriptions alongside the thumbnails.
  • Show or not show spoiler images.
  • Set the number of images in a row to 2, 3 or 4.
  • Set the thumbnail size to normal or large.
  • Set the background darkness level when the pop-up image is displayed to 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.
  • Select cross log image navigation or current log only image navigation.

To change an an option click on the option (such as "Geothumbs - Show spoilers : No") and it will be changed to the next available setting. The page will then reload to use that setting.

The default option settings are to show cache owner images, show image descriptions, not show spoilers, display 2 images per row, show normal size thumbnails, have a background darkness of 25% and allow cross-log navigation.

Opera users will need to edit the parameters in the script if they wish to change the default settings.

Notes:
Due to the lack of small images on geocaching.com for cache owner posted images this script downloads the fullsize image and relies on the browser to resize it to the required thumbnail or large image size. You may want to turn this option off if you don't have a fast internet connection!

You might like to install Locus Prime's Show All Logs script which will open each cache page with all logs shown. This will allow you to view all the available images on a cache page and not just those of the first five logs.
