Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gthumb
After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10, Gthumb defaults to viewing images at
actual size.
This is a very bad choice, as it confuses new as well as old users. One
should look at images in their actual size only in special
circumstances, like when editing an image, or looking at a very small
ones, like icons. Normally, viewing an image should be done by fitting
it to the window. Before realising this, I had a whole session of
looking at my photos and asking myself why ever I had made almost all of
them wrong: it was because I was just looking at their central part, as
they did not fit in the screen at their actual size, as it is
commonplace with modern cameras.
Please choose anything else as a default, preferably "Fit to window if
larger" or, as a second choice "Keep previous zoom".
