Description

On a computer, without touch screen, the zoom is doable with double click. This is good but I felt myself shortly unsure how to do it. I believe many users might be a bit puzzled.

I propose to add some kind of button to zoom in and out, or a zoom bar... but anything which help the users if he does not understand how to do it with the double click.
