Explain the problem as you see it
Two problems currently:
1) Images right now fill up the entire horizontal space. It would be nice to be able to minimise it into a thumbnail / tile view / or reduce the image size to a default size.
2) When selecting options in Instance fields, where images are tagged with the #tag, images cannot be seen at all under the options. It would be cool to have some kind of tile/card view.
Why is this a problem for you?
Images are a huge modality of how I use tana as well and in knowledge work. But it's pretty clunky right now in how it is working.
Suggest a solution
As suggested above.

+1 From me. Images are a huge modality for me too. I use and work with a lot of screenshots, and my own drawing from tools like Muse, etc.
I also want to be able to resize images too. It helps keep the flow of thinking going.
For tana to compete in an extraordinarily large market, there are some simple things that need careful consideration. There is lots of complexity and flexibility but this (by definition) appeals to a smaller cohort of users when compared to basic 'quality of life' capabilities. My two needs that allow me to abandon other tools are:
Every other tool I have looked at cover these to varying degrees. It will be a deal breaker at some point. The AI integration is strong enough - surely it's time to think a little more about things that (I assume) a large number of users will benefit from.
thanks
Spot on about being able to collapse images somehow.
I'd love it if when you minimise its image it just shows the caption text and some sort of icon to indicate it's an image. Currently only have a 100% size image isn't ideal. I have to always make it a child node to hide it.
This is already done almost exactly like this for PDF files, so images should be treated the same way.
I want this too! Larger images take up too much space and distracts from the notes in between. Coming from Roam Research, this is the main thing that I miss
