Verify current rendering of the reply quote (
components/message/Reply*/ReplyLayout) form.image/m.video/m.sticker— if it says "sent an image" only, add a small thumbnail (existing blurhash + thumbnail URL, authenticated media aware, 32–40 px, click follows the reply as today). Encrypted media: reuse the decrypting thumbnail path already used by the timeline; never fetch full-size. Also the composer's reply-draft preview.Verified — not implemented. Replying to an image message through the UI produces a quote of
bob reply-target.png(filename only, no thumbnail):src/app/components/message/Reply.tsxhas no media branch (noimg, noMsgType.Imagehandling); the quote is the plain-text fallback body. So this moves from [verify] to a real enhancement: inReply, when the replied-to event ism.image/m.video(orm.sticker) render a small (≈32 px) thumbnail frominfo.thumbnail_url/url(decryptingfile/thumbnail_filein E2EE rooms via the existinguseMediaAuthentication+ decrypt helpers the timeline already uses) before the caption/filename, and keep the text fallback when the thumbnail fails.[verify] Reply quote shows a media thumbnail when replying to an image/videoto Reply quote shows a media thumbnail when replying to an image/videoDone in
22d46a79. Verified first: the quote showed only the filename ("green.png").Now both the timeline quote and the composer's reply-draft preview carry a 36 px thumbnail for
m.image/m.video(play badge) /m.sticker, from the event's own thumbnail — decrypted for E2EE media with the gallery'suseDecryptedMediaUrl, never the full-size file; blurhash-free placeholder icon while it loads. Click still jumps to the original.
