As a user who now knows the system is usable zoomed and some people use it that way at all times, I would expect it to only save to disk at logout and never any other time. Resetting to the preferred zoom level is only a problem for an extreme minority of users and having all users impacted by disk writes just for that extreme minority doesn't make much sense to me. That being said, it's a minor disk operation on orders of magnitude less impactful than the constant journal logging that's happening anyway, so my opinion is not strong here. > im not a ux expert but i'm not sure how useful a "resetting zoom after a > delay" could really be. neither having your zoom level suddenly reset while > reading something, nor waiting for timeout instead of manually quitting zoom > effect sounds ideal. It would have been useful for me when I didn't realize my PC wasn't frozen and thought my GPU was messed up. It also would have been useful when I didn't remember the shortcut after not having used Plasma for a couple years and having accidentally hit it, which happened once. I understand now some people like to use zoom for more than a few seconds at a time though, and I'm just not one of those people, so I take it back. Resetting on login would help me though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
