SUMMARY UI usability. Please create new actions: "zoom at 100%" and "zoom mode". Zoom mode would change the level to whatever user set it to last and remember that level. Zoom mode would be activated/deactivated through a shortcut. Zoom at 100% would be a separate action, also with a keyboard shortcut.
Zoom to 100% shortcut already exists. Look in View main menu... Gilles Caulier
I don't understand "Zoom Mode". Please explain better.
Sorry, let me try it with this format: PROPOSED STEPS * Albums, select an image, Preview * ACTION: Enter Preview mode * RESPONSE: Image is shown at "Fit To Window" zoom. * ACTION: Enter Zoom mode (press Z) * RESPONSE: Image is shown at some zoom level (default 100%) * ACTION: Change zoom to desired level (ex:300%). DK remembers this level. * ACTION: User presses the same shortcut to exit the zoom mode. * RESPONSE: Image is shown at preview-default level ("Fit To Window") * ACTION: Enter Zoom level again. * RESPONSE: Image is shown at the last used level (same example: 300%). Maybe calling this "zoom mode" is too much, and we just need a user-custom-zoom action available next to the existing zoom controls.
The goal is to quickly zoom in, examine a picture detail, zoom out. Zoom should be centered around the mouse.
CTRL+Mouse wheel will zoom in/out on the center of mouse cursor. No need keyboard shortcuts for that.
While CTRL+Mouse scrolle works, it is slower vs a keyboard shortcut.
With the mouse centered over the image area, use CTRL+PLUS or CTRL+MINUS to zoom in/zoom out. We will not implement more puzzle here... Gilles Caulier
Many other applications allow zoom levels via shortcuts, making it faster to use. Why would that be a puzzle?
