Fixed zoom levels

[tropptr-torrptrop]

It is frustrating that when zooming quickly by mouse scroll - zoom stops at random levels.
Only way to get to 100% is to scroll to 50%, then slowly to 75%, then slowly to 100%.

I would much prefer zoom to jump between fixed levels of 50, 75, 100, and with step of 50% after that.

The use of random zoom like 116% seems questionable, as it always tend to cause ugly shimmering.

You can press the middle mouse button to reset zoom to 100%, and you can use shift + mouse wheel to increase/decrease zoom by 1%.

Thank you for great tip!

I will still hold to original request. Value of random zoom levels is unclear, though I get constant frustration with it :(
Maybe it is also related to poor eyesight that I have. I tend to change zoom literally all the time, so this randomness turns into torture.

I would highly appreciate fixed zoom levels (maybe as configurable setting).

Maybe we could do as we do with zooming by 1% pressing another hotkey making the zoom step in 25% steps.

Zoom already works like that if you disable smooth scrolling. Maybe I can create a separate setting "smooth zooming".

Indeed, without smooth scrolling it works with fixed steps. Smooth zoom is a nice feature by itself, it is just not clear why it has to be bundled with "random" steps :).

Or, maybe we are talking about a bug in current implementation of smooth zoom? I mean, it does zoom to fixed values if you do it one step at a time. Just when you scroll twice during zoom - it adds fixed "50" to whatever random zoom was gained at that moment, leading to random result.

So, we have this "bug" + shift 1% increment - so 2 ways of getting arbitrary value but none to get stable steps.

Or do I miss something here? It's just that as casual player, I struggle to see why zoom should stop at random values (given that it causes poor image on most of that levels).

Yeah it's what you say, zoom moves at "current value + step", with current value being whatever is the actual zoom value even during transitions.

It shouldn't be too hard to change it to what you're saying though.

Cool, I think that is all I have to say here. Would really appreciate fixing this. As you can tell, it bothers me for real, haha :)

And thank you (all) for your great work on this amazing project <3
