XF 1.1 LightBox Displays All Images on Page

I am at a loss what this option does in the message options

LightBox Displays All Images on Page
If this option is enabled, the LightBox overlay in which images are loaded will show all attached and hot-linked images from all messages on the current page. If disabled, the LightBox will show only images from the current message.

If I have it ticked or not when viewing a thread with loads of images the images are formatted the same way either way I have this selected.

It only shows all the attachments in a thread on pages where the uploaded attachment is not in full embed.

Ok so this only works on attachment then this is why I was seeing no difference

As per the description, it also works for embedded images but it can only be triggered by an image which isn't displayed in full size.

Then I suppose having it on will be the way to go as it can do no harm
