Fit Width vs Fit Page comparison of a lecture slide

Hello,

As a student, I spend the day running across documents containing lecture slides. Usually, slides look better in 'Fit Page' mode, where in addition it is possible to comfortably navigate through them with the left and right keys.

However, 'Auto Fit' (the default zoom) doesn't take this into account and uses 'Fit Width'. Obviously, setting 'Fit Page' as the default zoom isn't a solution because I also have to read portrait documents.

My suggestion is to make 'Auto Fit' take into account the aspect ratio of the page, so that the whole page is shown for landscape documents. I don't know what's good for everybody else, so I'd be fine if there was just an option to enable this.

I have noticed bug 239955, but it's 8 years old, so I decided to open a new report that fits the current version of Okular.

Thank you very much.

Reporting duplicate wish lists on purpose is silly, but since you want to be silly i'll leave this open i guess.
