Image alignment improvements

[binaryfire]

Hey Tom

Would it be possible to add some image alignment options that don't wrap? I often want to align an image left without any text wrapping on the right. Currently there's no clean way of doing this.

Also, even when you align an image to the left and insert blank lines on the right, the image can't be enlarged.

Same for me.

Reported here: #3403

Is there any other info you need?

Ideally there would be three aspects that could be controlled separately, similar to most text editing software:

• Size: Either allow specifying an arbitrary size, or offer options like "Small / Medium / Large / Full-Width".
• Alignment/Flow: Left aligned (no float), let aligned (float), center aligned (no float), right aligned (no float), right aligned (float)

(Note: The icon for center alignment currently shows text to the left and right of the image, even though it functions like a block element and there is no flow of text around the image. This could be considered a bug.)

This it how it works in Confluence onPrem (not cloud). It's not perfect but I like it very much. Especially that I can post a few smaller screenshots side by side.
I also like how it matches the size if I choose medium and paste another pic, choose medium again and they match up in height.

In outline currently it's impossible to have screenshots side by side, right?

Yup, I'm also coming from Confluence OnPrem, and while Confluence had a lot of quirks, the image handling was pretty nice and I miss it.

This has been driving me insane, until I noticed it wasn't me but rather Outline at fault :-)
A bit of googling and I found related issues: #3403

I also found this rather old discussion which claims resizing has been implemented since v0.67.0+ but I don't see it. Could someone please share a screenshot if you have the resizing option available anywhere?

Forgot to add I'm self-hosting Outline in case it matters.

Resizing works.

Damn, I totally did not realize that is what those bars on the left and right side of the image do.
So that leaves the initial posters request about the alignment problems.

Looks like it got somehow fixed in #6350 :)
Thanks - it would be killer to have a setting to have images always aligned left and put text below, not beside.
