I just discovered that the new method to calculate (next/previous) zoom level in v4.10 has a drawback.
When progressively zooming in/out, starting from a "fit to window" situation, you have to "be lucky" with this new method to get well rounded values like 25%, 50%, 100% etc. Instead, you typically get something like 52%, 108% etc. depending on for example the window-size you started with, or how the actual size of the picture relates to your screen resolution. Because of the resampling going on, these views tend to be fussy. Unless I'm missing something, this means that in this situation you can't zoom to a "clear" version of the picture right now.
So to work around this (since the "relative zoom increments" has its value as well), it would be good to be able to configure the original zoom algorithm instead. Or maybe a combination of <CTRL> or <ALT> with the zoom keys could be used to force the previous zoom algorithm, or it could be coded in such a way that it automatically rounds to 25/50/100/150/200 % when it comes close to those zoom values?
Thanks for listening!
