Default [REQUEST] Automatic scan resizing, page centering

I think I've requested this somewhere before but I'll put it in a formal thread. Can you script the scan pages to automatically resize the scan to a reasonable width percentage of your browser real estate? Some of these really high quality scans are so big that you have to constantly zoom out or scroll left / right / up / down to see the image in it's entirety. I run my main monitor at 1920x1200 so if the image is too big to fit in even that window then that's a bit of a problem. I think it wouldn't be too much difficulty to identify the total width of your current browser and scale the image to a default percentage of that, say 95%, and for people who want to zoom in to read kanji they can always zoom in using the standard functionality.

It's really frustrating trying to open up a scan to look for credits and then having a gigantic scan where i can only see a quarter of the scan come up, and then have to CLICK scroll (because if i mousewheel scroll it zooms in / out) down and then scroll left/right, and to do this for multiple covers.

You should also really center the browser window to the image if it's scaled appropriately, or scale both x and y so that it fits in one (non scrollable) window. If I open a scan to a scan that's enormous, I can scroll mousewheel down once to get most of the notes, then probably scroll one more time before my entire window is covered with the scan and i can no longer mousewheel scroll up and down and have to manually click or page up/down.

I think the ideal solution would be to default scale any image > your screen real estate to fit exactly within your screen real estate without scrolling in any direction, and if you need finer detail, allow the user to zoom in accordingly.
