 With the current naming of the option and it being a checkable item, I'd
 expect images to remain stretched when resizing the window. At least after
 not having zoomed yet.

 I would make it work this way:
  * For images smaller than the current ShowImage window size, open them
 always at 100%.
  * For images larger than the current ShowImage window size, always scale
 them down to fit the window.
  * Introduce menu and/or tool bar actions "Fit to window" and "Show at
 original size"

 As an additional note, I have found it very useful to be able to go back
 and forth between two or more images of the same size while locking the
 current zoom level and displayed image portion. Somehow this was possible
 with an older ShowImage (perhaps one even older than before the last
 rework on the app). For example, I experimented with different resizing
 algorithms and wanted to compare selected portions of resized images by
 toggling them.

 So perhaps add another toggleable option "Lock current zoom level and
 displayed image portion".
