Thanks Milan for this, and for all that you do to help the project.

Thanks for keeping the discussion on topic.

I would not object to 1.2 except that:

1) I just tried a zoom factor like this and with my complex board the 
zone redraws were to slow, making this an unusable zoom factor for 
PCBNEW. (In fact the current zoom factor in eeschema head is closer to 
1.2 and I have no objection to that because the redraw speed is fast 
enough.) As the redraw speed goes up, then the total time to zoom 
significantly is (redraw time x no. steps).


2) If the zoom factor is too small, this leads to more steps, and then 
we are in the bind of not being able to fit them all on the menu.


1.2 is at least not a ridiculous value, like the suggestion of 2.5 was.
