It wouldn't be too hard to apply different zoom amounts, based on the file's
subdirectory. It also might be nice to apply some other analysis to the
file being displayed - use a different scale/viewpoint for baseplates, zoom
in on very small parts, etc.

I'm not sure how useful this would be, unless permanently stored on the
server (or it could be a cookie, but I haven't worked with cookies yet).
Each detail page only displays 1 image. So unless the server remembers the
user's option, it's going to revert to no-picture with every link the user
follows. In that case, we might as well just make a separate link to the image.
Running with this a little further....
It could also be used on the list page(s). Having a "show pictures yes/no"
option would be very good there. And the "pictures=yes" page could be
length-limited, so only a few items at a time are listed.
