Allow finer mouse wheel in/out zoom steps

Post by fcana »

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.

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?
