Don't black out while zooming in or out

While zooming in or out, isn't it possible to scale and show the old images until new ones are downloaded?

Yes, but zooming is quite expensive and slow in Emacs. You could try to implement this, but I consider it out of scope.

What do you mean by "ist"? Do you mean "isn't" or "is"?

Sorry, this was my mobile typo correction. I meant it is too expensive so we are not going to add this here. I value responsiveness higher than such eye candy. Usually the tiles load quicky anyway.

I too value responsiveness, but my connection is slow, so it takes about 10-15 seconds on average to load all the tiles (and more than several minutes in worst case).

Okay, maybe you can use a local server or a server nearby? Zooming images will not solve the loading issue, but I understand why you would want to have it. Anyway, there is always the browser :)
