I was trying to think of a concise way to say that the zoom factor is approximately sqrt(2) and is multiplicative, so zooming twice sets the scale to 2 or 1/2, etc. Mousewheel zooming will be added to the TODO list, as I agree that it is a nice thing to have. Note that you can have the program scale things to fit the window automatically - an upcoming fix will have that set as a global flag so the next image will also be scaled to fit the window. > I mean scaling 125%/80%. Well, could be 2^(1/n)/0,5^(1/n), where n > equals number of the steps you want image to be doubled, 4 for example When I add a degree of configurability, the zoom factor will be one of the configurable things. Until then, hold tight, or edit the source yourself. > 2. Zoom factor up to 32x? Why not 64x or 16x? And what for? > If you try to avoid entice killing by kernel, isn't there more proper > ways? Well, there are nicer ways, but I can't fix everything at once. I think 32x is marginally less annoying than the 2x it was set to before. This is a temporary measure, eventually to be replaced by some more sensible things. > 3. Slideshow.

Obviously it can already cope with slideshowing if you press space to advance the image, but the idea is to have the image automatically advance after n seconds, where n is user-supplied. As you note, this is very easy to add support for, but the program needs commandline options adding to it (which it could do with anyway). > yours, > glassy Thanks for your suggestions, I always welcome input, especially when it comes in the form of patches.
