Please allow more zoom levels #443

Open rbrito opened 4 years ago

rbrito commented 4 years ago

Expected behaviour

The ability to zoom more than only 400%. Very frequently, I stumble upon PDFs that are way, way, way too small. At other times, when I am cleaning some scans, I need to zoom even more than, say, 800%, to look at some speckles to clean.

Actual behaviour

Atril only allows one to zoom up to (but, sometimes, less than) 400%. If you have a moderate resolution (say, 600dpi) PDF or DjVu, then you usually can only zoom up to 200%. :disappointed:

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Try to select from the zoom from the dropdown menu or using the keyboard combination Ctrl-+.

I support this request. Are PRs welcome to add e.g. 10 additional levels?

I use atril for viewing large civil engineering drawings and electrical schematics, and 400 % is way too low for me. Could you please support infinite zoom (as available memory allows) or at least several more steps (say, up to 6400%)?

Thanks!

Hi.. "Just" a lurking user here with an observation for Developers: GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) uses a zoom where we users can type in anything we want, and it responds appropriately. I typed "1000" into that field (at bottom when an image is opened), hit "Enter," and off it went. Offering this up as a preexisting open source feature that might hopefully serve as a useful example. Best wishes!

DISCLAIMER: It just came to mind that that one seemingly "simple" example may be dependent on 1000 others innate to GIMP's purpose and that aren't appropriate here. :smile:
