It seems like such a conspicuous absence to me but the My Pictures does not zoom in on smaller graphics images so that at least one of the dimensions of the image spans the screen width/height.
For instance if your screen is set at 1024x768, a 512x200 images should be expanded to 1024x400. A 500x500 image should be expanded to 768x768.
Larger images are resized downward nicely to fit the screen. Its just that smaller ones are not expanded. It would be simply grand if such a zoom feature was available to turn on.
If anyone decides to code in this feature, please keep in mind that some expansion algorithms are more crude than others. Some create heavy pixilation whiles others create a more smooth image. Obviously one cannot create image info out of oblivion but just getting the image bigger is very nice. I run MediaPortal on a PC hooked up to a projector in the basement and I want to use the entire screen when looking at images, just like I do with video.
Keep up your most excellent work. I'll pray for you.
