TC10.50b1: Zooming in Lister -- Change Request

"28.07.21 Fixed: Lister: When zooming in/out of images, keep the currently centered pixel in the center (32/64)"
Hm. Is it possible to "zoom to mouse" instead -- especially when using ctrl+wheel? Maybe this can be selected via an ini/config setting?

Not a bug, moved to suggestions
Interesting idea, which would be OK when using an actual mouse - but what about people with a laptop which use the trackpad to scroll? Wouldn't it be annoying for them?

I think scrolling and zooming don't interfere when using a trackpad.
On most trackpads you can use two fingers to scroll up/down (and left/right when keeping shift pressed).
At the same time, the typical zoom gesture is recognized.
For me, the most important question is: To which pixel will it zoom (or: which pixel will stay centered when zooming).
In this regard I find it very convenient to put the mouse cursor to the area/pixel in which I am interested (that happens intuitively "on the fly") and then use the mouse wheel or zoom gesture to zoom exactly into this area.
E.g., if I am interested in an area in the upper right corner but the viewer always zooms to the image center, I would always have to scroll (back) to the relevant area after every zoom step. I find that very inconvenient. Thus, I would highly appreciate "zoom to mouse" over "zoom to center" (at least as an option).
