Hi Rawi,

I agree with you, the automatic full scale zoom factor isn't very 
convenient. I don't know if keeping the zoom scale accross images 
changes is possible. What I can say is that it was possible in former
versions of Digikam.
I have a DK 1.2.0 and a DK 2.2.0, and with the 1.2.0 version, once the
zoom factor is set, it remains unchanged when one selects another image.
With version 2.2.0, it doesn't.
This means that it's not a missing feature but a removed feature, and
removing functions in software is often leads by technical reasons.
But only DK developers could answer.
