Bug Description
Hello,
During the important phase of associating components and footprints,
when you open the windows footprint :
the autozoom to fit feature is really annoying because you cannot perceive any difference between successive footprints.
In the example (open exhibit), the 50 caps footprints appear identical.
-suppress the autozoom to fit so we can appreciate growing sizes. Make it a disabled option.
list of additional improvement :
-"pan while moving object", useless zoom option
-open the windows with the 'allways on top' attribute please
-display a carousel of prev, actual, next footprint for better comparison. A column with three smaller images.
-add a second columm for 3d images, no interaction needed.
-if you implement the caroussel, highlight the diff between pref/next names and 'actual'

-the KLC defining more or less some mandatory dimensions, maybe you could try to display them as main X & Y 'size objects' now.

There is already a user-configurable option for this in the footprint viewer settings; see attached image.
