Well, I wasn't thinking that there would be no limit; rather that the limit would be when whole picture is (say) 1/16th of the size of the window. That would avoid the problem you mention, yet still allow any image to be viewed in its entirety.
You seem to assume that the zoom is relative to the picture size, but in fact it's rlative to px unit. So if you limit it to be able to show this particular file, nothing prevents someone from creating a new file 16x bigger (in px units) that still won't fit, and so on ad infinitum.
Well, isn't that from a technical viewpoint rather than a user's viewpoint? I mean the "View" menu makes no mention of px units. Indeed (if a "px" is a pixel), what is a pixel in a vector drawing program?
thanks, gav.
