It seems that atlassian an we have different ideas of "large" images.
As far as I read through the documentation and comments I understand that if I choose "small" and "medium" image preview from the image-macro, the thumbnail image file is used for display. If I choose the "large" version the original file is used and displayed - just resized on the client side.
We need to set the size of the thumbnail - so that even the "large" preview use the thumbnail !?
The point is we have lots of images with a resolution of 4-7k ( 4000-7000px ). Minimum resolution is 2k. And a 500px preview is not large anymore...!
And when I am thinking of "mobile" devices two diffrent thumbnail-preview sizes would be best. But I understand that this is a wish to be wished somewhere else....
