Description

Can I set the default image zoom/scaling at 100%?
It seems Quick Look currently use 125% scaling when viewing any image. I do a lot of screenshots, and the text in these images at 125% scaling is blurry. So I have to adjust scaling to 100% manually after I hit the space bar on a folder full of images, and when I switch to the next image, the scaling returns to 125% automatically, and I have to adjust again. This makes the whole thing terrible.
Can I set the default scaling at 100%?

Research direction

Start by locating the Quick Look image-viewing entry point and the code that applies scaling when switching between images. Confirm how the current 125% default is selected and whether preferences are available. Done means images open and remain at 100% scaling without requiring manual adjustment.
