: Is there a way to show a 1:1 scale preview/secondary view? When you're zoomed in editing something very small (like an icon), it's hard to tell what it looks like at 1:1. Is there any way
When you're zoomed in editing something very small (like an icon), it's hard to tell what it looks like at 1:1. Is there any way to avoid having to constantly zoom from 1:1 to your editing zoom level?
The OLD version (as in, Windows XP old) of a paint program named Paint Shop Pro (5-6) allowed this by just letting you have multiple window views of the same image. What's the best Gimp solution?

It's usually not 1:1 views, but may be useful for finding your way around a zoomed-in image:
You can add a Navigation Dialog anywhere in your docks. This will display your image with a highlighted area indicating the part of the image that's visible in the active image window or tab.
You can drag this frame to move around in your image, and the dialog also has got zoom controls to control the zoom level of the image window/tab.
Also, in the lower right corner of an image window/tab, there's a small four-way cross that opens a similar dialog with that highlighted area, but sans the zoom feature.
