Description Arseny Solokha 2009-09-06 09:54:37 UTC

Snippets from ticket #48 from upstream:

"the zoom factors when zooming in currently follow the scheme:
100% 120% 144% 173% 207% 249% 299% 358%
Please excuse me if I call these factors "weird"."

"The current scheme does not follow one of the above _and_ falls short of being "intuitive", which is why I took the freedom to call it "weird"."

Proposed patch attached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any PDF document
2. Try to rescale it using "Zoom in" or "Zoom out" buttons

Actual Results:  
Scaling value are quite uncommon.

Expected Results:  
Scaling values should follow in geometric progression with common ratio 10^0.1, or use some other common and predictable sequence.

Get this included upstream, then we'll get it when a new version is released.
