Cannot view media beyond timeline preview #534

Closed daenney closed 2 years ago

daenney commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug

In the desktop app, when media is published to a room, it's not possible to pop it open for a bigger view. The media element has a "open in new tab" option, but that doesn't work within the desktop app bundle.

Reproduction

  1. Open any room
  2. Find media
  3. Click on "open in new tab"

Expected behavior

Modal shows up that allows the viewing of the asset.

Platform and versions

1. OS: Linux
2. Cinny Desktop 2.0

Additional context

No response

i think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/issues/5 ?

Sort of. Right now in the desktop app it's not possible at all to view the image in a bigger way, because the "open in new tab" functionality doesn't work in that context. The feature suggested in #5 works to resolve this case too, but the problem is different.
