gallery: zoom beyond display resolution
Mobile boarding pass pictures and QR codes are tiny and text hard to read if zooming doesn't work beyond display resolution.
This was with 1.0.1.12 SW.

Boarded a flight today and was also disappointed about the boarding pass' small (GIF) display-size. So in-flight I poked around with some qml-files and found one that seems to do the trick:
/usr/share/jolla-gallery/pages/FlickableImageView.qml
as root (make a backup-copy)where it says:
maximumWidth: model.width
maximumHeight: model.height
replace with:
maximumWidth: model.width * 10
maximumHeight: model.height * 10
It is rather quick and dirty and I can't explain exactly what this does, but I noticed
1) you can zoom way deeper into images
2) images smaller than the display size will be scaled up (even before pintch to zoom in) - this makes the boarding pass bigger on screen - but it is not possible to zoom out i. e. to view them at 1:1 again
3) everything else seems to stay normal (photo-images initially opened are still zoomed to fit)
This applies in my case to Software 1.0.8.19 (Tahkalampi).
It's kind of ridiculous that such simple fixes are available, and 10 / 11 months after launch, it still hasn't been changed. Thanks, though.

Zoom in gallery is to little and in some pictures i can't zoom at all. I got some pictures that's taken with an old feature phone 400x300 and i can't zoom them at all, tapping the picture shows share and when share is shown the picture gets zoomed a bit. On the N9 i could zoom the picture a lot.

Yeah, the zoom in gallery is really poor and I am really missing a better zoom.
