Tested in 2.5.0. Zooming to 100% pans to the top-left corner. As most photographs have the subject near the center, the result is that when going through a few hundred photos one must keep doing mouse-strokes after zooming to 100% to get the center in view. This gets very tedious very quickly. Please make zooming to 100% focus on the center of the image (unless you zoomed into some area of a photo and then opened the next photo - in this case don't pan to the center, this behaviour is fine in 2.5.0).

When zooming by setting the zoom rate (slider), use the current view center as zoom anchor, not top-left.

Thank you!
"When zooming by setting the zoom rate (slider)" Will this not work if I zoom using my own shortcut key "*" (numpad) to jump to 1:1? I would like it to, that's what I most often use, and it would be inconsistent if zooming to the center instead of the top-left only worked for one zooming method and not all methods.
In 2.9.0 zooming using the slider zooms into the center (great), but using the shortcut key it still zooms into the top-left corner, so this fix would need to be extended to the shortcut zoom too. Not completely resolved yet.
Git commit 466a690a843ea9cb6594fb54f1d02676b2d92438 by Marcel Wiesweg. Committed on 23/09/2012 at 16:32. Pushed by mwiesweg into branch 'master'. Always default to image center as anchor for zooming. The method which implements anchoring becomes the actual implementation method, which means there's not zooming without anchoring anymore, and default is QPoint() which is the image center.
