Remember Zoom / Crop

In Chunky, another Comic-Reader for ios I could zoom a page to remove borders/whitespace. For the next pages this zoom-level would be remembered. This gelps on Media with small letters / too much whitespace.

Hi! I haven't used Chunky myself and it's not available in my region, so I'm not exactly sure how this "remember zoom/crop" feature works in practice. If you could share a short screen recording showing how it works in Chunky, that would be super helpful to better understand the behavior and see if we could support something similar.

I would like to second this feature. I'm visually impaired and can't read physical books anymore. On some manga I need to zoom in when the text is too small, and the app doesn't remember the zoom level inbetween pages. So it's kind of annoying to have to zoom in again on each page ^^ Maybe even remembering the zoom setting for a whole series would be even better. thank you for developing this app! :)

Chunky was doing a « margins crop », smartly removing excess borders around the page, taking into account uneven layouts to never crop the actual image. The function was activated in the settings and a quick pitch to zoom was cropping the margins on the current book, making a much better use of the screen real estate. There was not a real « persistence » of the zoom level. It was a « fit width » on the cropped content that was calculated on each page and gave this « feeling ». So basically a smart crop, which is imho a killer feature for a comic reader. Pablo: if you can implement that, it would be really great. I’m volunteer to beta test if you need.

Ah, got it. I'm releasing manual crop in the next version. You'll be able to zoom in on a page and keep that zoom across all pages in the book. I'll also look into smart cropping like Chunky did, sounds like a really useful feature.
