Comment (by leavengood):
I started working on this, and it was easy to add a check for smaller
images (I decided that anything 200x200 or below is "small".) But then it
made me question the need for the "Stretch to window" option, which I now
see I questioned 8 years ago too.
Axel thinks it is useful for slideshows, and that I might agree with, but
I think better than an option would just be a good heuristic. Such as
during a slideshow, if the image is within a certain percentage of the
screen size, stretch it, otherwise don't. Of course now, 8 years later,
images smaller than screens are probably pretty rare, so maybe even this
heuristic is not so useful.
The other thing is I think the default window size behavior is bad, and I
want to fix that too. I think the window should be sized to just perfectly
fit the image at normal zoom, certainly when first opening an image in a
new window. In most cases this would make "Stretch to window" pretty
useless. Of course it may be up for debate what we do when the user
changes the image with the cursor keys, but I still think in general we
avoid the "useless options" idea in favor of good defaults and nice
behavior, and I think what I am suggesting is better.
I'll experiment a bit and see what I come up with.
