I cannot see any way for a smoother zoom. It is not a new topic, this from 12 years ago: https://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-de...mooth-zoom
quote: Well, the preset steps are there for a reason: I touched that code some years ago and it was quite a bit of back and forth until we settled on the current solution.
The steps are based on sqrt(2) factors inbetween, tweaked heavily towards "nice" ratios (e.g. 141% --> 3:2). It might sound stupid, but these "nice" ratios are important for users: They have a predictable and even distribution of the pixels. unquote
However the Gimp Devs might be forced to do something because of touch screens: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/1098 but alas not for the regular Gimp 2.10
You could always raise a feature request there.
