Bug 490992

SUMMARY
The "Clipboard Items" popup (which appears when pressing i.e. Meta+V) can display images from the clipboard history. This is a good feature! However the images are very tiny, far too tiny to really know what they are, and so they aren't very meaningful. The Clipboard Contents tray menu doesn't have this issue as it has the luxury of more space, so it can display the images at a larger size.

The images in the popup are also misaligned from text on the list. While text has a nice indentation, images don't have this, so they appear misaligned compared to text on the clipboard (or vice versa, if you have more screenshots on your clipboard history than text!).

I understand why the images are as small as they are, this is a list in a pop-up where space is at a premium, so the images are displayed at the same size as the text (which is truncated if it is long, probably for the same space-is-at-a-premium reason). And if the images were displayed at full size it wouldn't look nearly as sleek as having the even popup list we have now. But the overall issue still remains that images in the popup are really tiny and don't convey anything meaningful just by looking at them in the list.

I don't really know what the solution is, so I put off reporting this since reporting issues like this without a vision on how to fix them can come across as lazy. I believe this clipboard popup feature is only present in KDE Plasma as I have yet to see this anywhere else (the concept of clipboard history like this in general is pretty much exclusive to the Linux Desktop). So I don't think there's the possibility to reference what other projects are doing.

Short of re-designing the popup UI entirely, maybe there could be a way to enlarge the image on mouseover? It could animatedly scale up, or an additional "tooltip" could appear and also list its resolution. But I have no idea if this is possible to implement without a massively significant refactor.

I'm sure this issue has been noticed and the reason it is the way it is is because there is no easy fix. I didn't find another issue mentioning this so I wanted to bring it up in case there is any discussion to be had around this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy an image to the clipboard.
2. Open the Clipboard Popup (I believe the default binding is Meta+V).
3. The image on the clipboard is too tiny to convey anything meaningful. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Images on the Clipboard Items popup are too small to know what they represent.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a way to more easily see what the image on the Clipboard Items popup represent.
