Hello Karl,

This is not high priority, it's just me experimenting.

Playing with files.gallery on my iPhone (where it works quite well in Safari but without full screen images)I tried to configure files.gallery as a PWA (Progressive Web App). By setting specific meta's in the HTML header iOS will recognize this when you create a bookmark of the website on the iOS homescreen. This is in my head.html now:

This works almost but not quite entirely perfect. Full-screen slideshows and images. No URL bar, feels like a real app. Here are examples of this app-line behavior:

But there are two caveats:

When showing a picture in a "new tab" it is hard to get back again. It is possible though by swiping from left to right starting at the far left
This next one is more difficult. There is no possibility to download an image by context menu (holding down on the picture). The "Download" menu is there of course, and can be used to actually download but after that there is no way back and the PWA needs to be force-stopped and restarted.

Here is a download screen with no way back:

Is there a way by me (custom.js maybe?) to change this behavior? Is it something that you might be able to fix somehow? Reading through developer.apple.com forums there are other developers with similar issues with PWA "apps" and some solutions are mentioned. Not something I can easily test myself.

Regards,
