Actions taken

1. Customize display-buffer-alist to prevent ement images from displaying in a new frame:

  (add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
               (cons "^\\*Ement image: "
                     (cons 'display-buffer-below-selected
                           '((inhibit-same-window . t)
                             (reusable-frames . nil)))))

2. Invoke ement-room-image-show on an image in any room.

Results

The altered display-buffer-alist rule is obeyed, but the current frame is resized.

Expected results

The frame should retain it's dimensions.

In ement-room-image-show:

    (pop-to-buffer new-buffer '((display-buffer-pop-up-frame)))
    (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'maximized)))

would it be possible to set the frame parameter as part of the ACTION argument to pop-to-buffer?

[alphapapa]

Probably the ACTION argument to pop-to-buffer should be in a defcustom, and the frame parameters should be passed in it via pop-up-frame-parameters (cf. Elisp manual 29.13.3).

@progfolio Tag, you're it. ;)

I don't think this would be necessary if the ACTION specifies the parameters.
That part could still be overridden in display-buffer-alist.

the frame parameters should be passed in it via pop-up-frame-parameters (cf.
Elisp manual 29.13.3).

Thanks for hunting down that section of the manual.
Let me know what you think of #225.

My current config:

(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
               (cons "^\\*Ement image: "
                     (cons 'display-buffer-below-selected
                           '((inhibit-same-window . t)
                             (reusable-frames . nil)))))
