What is IMG inspector?
'IMG Inspector' is a Chrome extension that provides a comprehensive and user-friendly way of viewing images linked on a page. This tool transforms pages with image links into a gallery-like layout with thumbnails and a lightbox viewer for easy image viewing. Features like image grouping when there are numerous images, 'compact mode' for viewing more items at once, the ability to drag and save images, and the optional automatic gallery contribute to an enhanced browsing experience. It works with pages containing links to actual images and needs a page refresh after installation to function.

Works very well for what it is designed to do. Only thing I would like to see added it the ability to show only the largest image of a set instead of having the same image shown multiple times at different resolutions. Kudos to the Dev!

Does exactly what I needed : With many pictures on a website with only directory listings, I can display all the pictures without having to click them one by one.
