Barry's Image Zoom

This Image Zoom was close to perfect, but ultimately I had to uninstall it. I have an Apple "Magic Mouse" and it is not really supported by this product. There are some key features of the mouse that are broken by this product.

1) Swiping back doesn't work... it just zooms the image out.
2) Swiping down doesn't work... it just zooms the image in... it should scroll the image down.

Overall, a cool product, but not if you are using the magic mouse.

I found this Extension after the previous one I used, Image Embiggener, stopped working.

I now actually prefer Barry's Image Zoom. It's simple, but it does a good job - and the mouse wheel zooming works intuitively, unlike in Embiggener.

The description said I could drag & move the image - that didn't seem to work? No big deal though.

It'd be useful if there was a key I could press to show the image at its standard size.

It'd also be helpful if, like Embiggener did, it could show the image size information in a line below the image. E.g. "1024x768 Zoom: 3.4x"

Finally, it would be great if there was a key I could hold down - maybe Alt - that disabled mouse wheel zooming, and meant that the mouse wheel would scroll the window as usual. That would allow me to easily use the mouse wheel to both zoom and scroll, rather than needing to use the scroll bar if scrolling around in a big image.

Those extra features would all be nice to have, but the extension does its primary job simply and effectively and is much appreciated.

Thanks!
