Well, it's just a toy, at least so far. I think I choose a poor example
for my first try. It seems more useful for a big gallery composed of
lots of subgalleries. Seeing the whole wall of images and pulling it
back and forth gives an overview of what's inside in a more organized,
detailed form. <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Brooklyn/>

That's why I wish I knew a way to make double clicks display the gallery
image at native resolution. I've dropped them a not about that. that
way, PicLens could be a different index into the full quality images.
I would be possible to create and clog up the server with a second,
larger size, set of images for the RSS feed, but that isn't appealing
for most uses. As it is, PL produces a separate directory of images, but
it's easy enough to change the RSS file to point to the same ones being
used for the normal gallery and avoid duplicates.
