zoom steps by a ratio of qrt(2)=1,414213562

[oops66]

Hello,
Request to have a customized option to change the zoom steps by a ratio of qrt(2)=1,414213562 (current step * 1,414213562 = next step) or (current step / 1,414213562 = previous step) .
Because this ratio is the same as the paper size between the formats sizes ( ... A5 to A4 to A3 to A2 .. to A0) so it would be very easy by this way to see the result on the screen for an other paper size format before the print.

So have the ability to change the currents steps 7%,10%,15%,...,1600% to the steeps 1.75%,..7%,9.9%,14%,...,1792%

current-> new
------> 1.75%
------> 2.47%
------> 3.50%
------> 4.94%
7% --> 7.00%
10% --> 9.90%
15% --> 14.00%
20% --> 19.80%
25% --> 28.00%
30% --> 39.60%
50 --> 56.00
70 --> 79.20
100--> 112.00
150--> 158.40
200--> 224.00
300--> 316.78
400--> 448.00
500--> 633.57
600--> 896.00%
700%--> 1267.13%
800%--> 1792.00%
1200 %
1600%

Good idea, I allready posted a request some time ago, to zoom in relative steps, with selectable step-size,
eg. 1.41 x ;
in your case I think it would be better to normalize the zooming around 100% ,
the zoom-table would then be:

...
6.25
8.8
12.5
17.7
25
35
50
71
100
141
200
283
400
566
800
1131
1600
...

Why not, it's better, but not necessary because if you type the key "*" then you have automaticaly the 100% zoom step, then after if you zoom down or up (with this relative zoom step behavior) you will meet your 100% --> 141% --> 200% --> and so zoom steps.
And if you zoom down from this 100% zoom step (key "*"), you will also have automaticaly : 100% --> 71% --> 50% --> and so....

But you are right, a selectable step-size ratio is better (with maybe 1.4142 by default).

Plus, by this way (a relative zoom step behavior), the zoom behavior will also be more smooth.

Yes, that is the big advantage, in the current version the zooming steps aren't allways "smooth" .
By the way: I wasn't aware of the "*" shortcut, might be handy .

Yes...
FI - numpad keys:
"*" -->for the 100% zoom step
"/" -->fit image to window
"1" -->fit image to window width
"3" -->fit image to window height
"Ctrl" + "-" --> real size
"-" and "+" (or scroll the middle mouse button) --> zoom out / zoom in

sketch a square with the mouse --> to zoom in and fit this area into the window (I hope in a future XnView version too) ???
