Tall image rendered in bad quality in timeline
in the timeline, images seem to be rendered (~probably a preview is downloaded from the server?~) in a lower quality, which also applies to tall images. tall images are, however, displayed in full width, which makes the lower quality very apparent and pretty awful to look at:
in the image viewer, the quality is much better:
Bitmaps take a lot of memory so there's a hard limit to their maximum size when displayed in lists.
given my assumption about the app first downloading a preview image from the server is correct, i'm not sure on what's the best way to fix this. maybe preview images could be rendered with a maximum height of the image height? or just some max height value for preview images, which would also fix #167
