Feature description
Provide an option Keep zoom/pan state across media that does exactly that.
It can, but doesn't have to, be conditionally bound to Allow instantly changing media by clicking on screen sides, to be available only if the latter is also active.
Why do you want this feature?
Since good old QuickPic days, the ability to maintain zoom/pan status while zapping through media is the single most outstanding feature I keep missing in Simple/Fossify Gallery on a daily basis, even after so many years.
THE PROBLEM
With the setting Allow instantly changing media by clicking on screen sides being active, media can be swiftly changed by side taps regardless of zoom and pan state. However, zoom and pan state are reset on every transition.
However, if you e. g. have a series of photos of a particular motive and want to choose only a few of them to keep, it's often the quality of particular details that matters.
Currently, they can only be compared either
rather vaguely by
zooming/panning in each photo,
memorizing that view,
then switching to the next photo
trying to manually approximate the same zooming/panning state there (and not mixing up your memories in the meantime),
comparing what you see with what you remember
or more thoroughly by an even more convoluted procedure where you
try to manually approximate the same zoom/pan states in every concerned photo view,
make a screenshot thereof,
continue with the next photo, until you have made such detail screenshots of all concerned photos,
then go to your screenshots folder,
swipe through those screenshots, marking the bad ones,
and finally, figure out which original photos the marked sreenshots belong to, and delete them.
Should you even want to compare another detail, the same story starts again.
THE SOLUTION
With this feature implemented, you can instead instantly compare and mark/delete the photos in place by tapping on the screen sides, even at high zoom levels and adjusted pan views.

Like for many, discovering Simple Gallery once was a great relief for me, too, when QuickPic went down the adbusting toilet. Guess what's giving great relief now again ...
Thank you so much for forking, and even further improving, this precious piece of software! <3
