Description Simon 2010-01-20 20:40:13 UTC 
Version:           1.1.0 (rev.: 1066990) (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-4.slh.2-sidux-686

Especially for big files. I was just a little bit confused when zooming in to the image on the light table after, amongst other things, sharpening it with GIMP: The difference was that it was even less sharp. Until I realized that this was because the image wasn't displayed in full resolution.

Isn't it possible to load the full resolution images when zooming in? I can live with the fact that images don't look sharp in the viewer, but when zooming I'd like to see every detail.

Did you enable "Load full-sized" image in the light table options?
Comment 3 Simon 2010-01-20 21:50:16 UTC 
Ah, indeed. Better now. (But do you expect an average user to find that?)

How about loading the full sized image in background after the not-full-sized image has been loaded, and display it as soon as available? 

Could perhaps even be made smart. Like don't load it as long as more than 2 different files have been displayed in the past 3 seconds. To avoid too high traffic.

I'm merging this with an older bug requesting the same behaviour.
