Hi, I don't think it makes sense to discuss patches here. We should concentrate on the behaviour we'd like to see and do the implementation later. In my opinion it is important that the series of zoom ratios is linear. The current implementation fulfills this requirement, it favors zoom ratios s

Hi: I saw that zoom has been changed following bug 124073. After trying it, I did not liked it. Personally I think it gives too much importance to extreme zooms, forgeting most people work around 100%. 4000 to 20 pix images in a reasonable size monitor is what I normally see, not 4 pix or peop
