Allow finer mouse wheel in/out zoom steps
in my system (window 11) using the mouse wheel for zooming the images in or out causes a huge variation just with a single movement (and the mouse wheel preference in the system is already one line per time): for instance, a single wheel movement shifts from 100% to 200%, no way to zoom in the middle. would be great to have a sort of rescaling of the wheel value for making the wheel movement more accurate. Thanks.

Re: Allow finer mouse wheel in/out zoom steps
How would you envisage that being implemented, there could be quite a number of possibilities?
Were you possibly thinking of something like a small floating element on the screen, on which the zoom level could be set using the mouse?

Re: Allow finer mouse wheel in/out zoom steps
Welcome to the forums...
Why don't you try going to Tools->Settings:View and adjusting your "Zoom step" settings?
You probably have it set to something unreasonable. You could change it to Fixed Step: 10 and that would result in a slow and fine-stepped zoom.
I doubt there is any need for programming changes here. It is already possible to change the zoom stepping. It sounds like you just have your settings in XnViewMP incorrect.fcana wrote: Tue Jul 21, 2026 10:07 am in my system (window 11) using the mouse wheel for zooming the images in or out causes a huge variation just with a single movement (and the mouse wheel preference in the system is already one line per time): for instance, a single wheel movement shifts from 100% to 200%, no way to zoom in the middle. would be great to have a sort of rescaling of the wheel value for making the wheel movement more accurate.
