Title The ability to use lightbox-overlays to display browsable sets/collections of attachments
Status Completed

Addon core
Description - A new Comcode tag: [media_set]Comcode/attachments/titles/anything-goes-here[/media_set] will be created
- Any overlay-enabled media (video/images) in the middle of this tag gets added to a 'set', and there may be multiple sets on a page
- When any of the video/images are opened in an overlay, the user will then be able to use on-screen controls to navigate through the items in the set
- As soon as an overlay is opened, semi-transparent controls will appear over the image (on the left of the image, an arrow pointing left, and on the right of the image, an arrow pointing right). These clickable controls will act as 'previous' and 'next' buttons
- The controls will fade away if the mouse is not moved for a few seconds, but they will re-appear when the mouse moves again (on touch-computers, they should remain visible unless tapped)
- The controls should also be mapped to the left and right arrows on a keyboard
- A "x/y" notice should be included on the bottom-right of the overlay (where y is the number of pieces of media in the set, and x is the current)
- When the user reaches the last item in the set, they should be taken back to the first image
