Feature Request: bVNC: start with max screen height

[AtmanActive]

Hi,

Thank you very much for this great software.
I'm using it daily to connect from Android phones and tablets to my Windows workstation.

I would like to ask for an addition of one more optional startup screen scaling mode: start fully zoomed-in vertically.

We now have three scaling modes: zoomable, fit to screen and one-to-one. They are all great, but on smaller screens, the most usable one is zoomable since that one enables us to zoom-in to make text readable and to pan the screen around either by touching or by moving the mouse cursor.

Now, I found out that scrolling/panning the whole screen in all directions is much more cumbersome and tiring than just scrolling left-right. Hence, lately, I would always zoom the screen to fill the Y axis completely, and then I would just scroll/pan along X axis.
In other words, every time I start bVNC and connect, I need to do a pinch-zoom touch gesture to zoom-in the screen to occupy the whole screen height and remove the black letterbox. This pinch-zoom action is not entirely precise and is a bit of a hit and miss, since I don't want Y pixels to go out of my viewport, but only X pixels.

Hence, it would be much easier and much more comfortable if bVNC could do that for me. In 99% of my use cases of bVNC I'm using a bluetooth mouse, so I'm not even touching the screen throughout the remote session.

So, my feature request is to add one more settings preference where we could choose the STARTUP DEFAULT ZOOM FACTOR when using "zoomable" scaling mode, like so:

• zoom-in to fit everything (as it is now)
• zoom-in Y to max (what I'm doing manually every time now)
• zoom-in X to max (just in case some people might need that)

My personal use case for this is: my Windows machine is running at 2560x1080. On my phone/tablet using one-to-one or fit-to-screen is useless, since I can't read the text when it is so small. So, I use zoomable mode and I pinch-zoom until I have the whole screen height visible, resulting in left and right bits being hidden and need panning/scrolling to reach them, but, the screen zoom factor is then just right for me and I can easily read everything written on the remote screen.

Thanks.
