When using the image window menu entries under View -> Zoom or the zoom entry at the bottom of an image window, the zoom focus point should be the center of the image. If not, please file a bug report to bugs.gimp.org with unamigious step-by-steps on how to reproduce the problem. - Martin > I really wish i could help somehow for this simple feature to be > avaiable,but im really not very keen with code and dont understand > gimp's source code to do something about it. > > Before i had a tablet i loved gimp,it was just after i started using a > tablet that i found out that its gui is getting in my way and some of > its flaws in design or lack of customisation doesnt make it a good > choice for using with a tablet.
