No, it's entirely from user viewpoint. And the view menu _does_ use px units, though it does not mention it by name. The 100% zoom level is _defined_ as the level at which one px is shown as one screen pixel. That's because all SVG renderers I know show images at this zoom by default, so it makes a lot of sense to call this 100% in Inkscape. Naturally, all other zoom levels are relative to this 100% zoom and therefore to px unit.
Mmm, I see what you mean. Well - I'm afraid I'm out of my depth. Isn't it possible to calculate the minimum zoom size based on the image size (and update it every time the image size changes?)
Thanks, gav.
p.s. is there a maximum image size as well? if I zoom right out and add rectangles at the edge, the canvas doesn't seem to grow to accomodate them.
