When I was trying to correct the chromatic aberration I wanted to zoom in to 100% and the only way to do it was click many times on the "zoom in" icon on the toolbar. The same when you want to zoom out back to fit window. The only commands I can use are "zoom in" and "zoom out", any other zoom option in the menu is disabled.

No, it doesn't (just with the wheel). But I thought that it needed some modifier key, and discovered that it works if I turn the wheel when pressing the CTRL key, like in gwenview (but there, when you press Ctrl while the pointer is on the preview, the pointer icon changes to a magnifier lens, a nice hint). 
So another time, thanks for your hint!

Knew it, and love it, it's very useful. It's nice that good features are somehow "standardized" between similar software in gnu/linux!

Nice work!

But playing with the sidebar and with the railway, I've seen that when I change the width of the sidebar, the railway icon disappears from the right bottom corner, and I can't use it to pan any more. To restore it I've seen that I have to change the zoom clicking on the icons on the toolbar, for example.

It's just a number, but it means a lot of things! Great!
You're almost convincing me to get the latest source code!
