Hi Todd (and sorry for the late answer)

I see your point, but I am a bit worried about adding more buttons which =

will behave in subtle different ways. I am not sure what is the best =

solution.

Maybe we could add a context menu to the "Fit" button so that you could =

toggle its behavior from there. It's less discoverable, but avoid adding =

too many buttons. It could also be an interesting way to turn "Zoom to =

fit" into "Zoom to fill" (zooming so that the smallest dimension takes =

the full available size, very useful for panoramic images)

What do you think of this?
