This is great feature but there is a drawback that we lose the ability to zoom-in the photo to its maximum size.

When there is only one image in the post and I click on lightboxed image it is displayed _fit-to-screen_. I can then click again into the image to display it in _actual pixels_ size (browser scrolling is enabled). By clicking into image I can switch between fit-to-screen and actual-pixels.

When there are two or more images in post magnific `gallery` mode is turned on. I lose previously described option because when I click into the image it displays next photo.

Is there any way to disable gallery mode by some quick patch?

Would you be interested in having gallery mode optional in SiteSettings? I’d try to make a PR if there is interest..

Thanks..
