Public bug reported:
When opening an image that is "medium sized", but still much smaller
than screen resolution, eog sizes its window initially slightly too
small, causing scaling and consequently smoothing to be applied to the
image. This makes "crisp" images like figures, diagrams etc. look
unnecessarily blurred (and bad) at first sight. Increasing eog window
size a little fixes it so that the image is displayed 1:1 (pixel
perfect). Pressing Ctrl+0 also fixes the initial sizing of the image.
I see no way to turn off "Best fit" option by default in prefs. That
would probably fix it for smaller images, but is unpractical for larger
ones, where scaling is desireable.
Attached source image and screenshot of initial eog window (untouched)
shows the problem. My screen resolution is 1920x1200 and the source
image is 640x480, so it should not have been scaled by eog on first
display.
