Edit Zoom ratios?

I do a lot of picture rendering and find myself zooming images to ratios of
3:1 and 6:1 (300% and 600%, respectively) for a majority of jobs. Can these be
added to the popup menu at the bottom of the window instead of having to
manually enter these values each time via View > Zoom > Other?

Thank you very much.

For 300%, isn't it easier just to hit 2, +?
In any case, while it would be a good enhancement to be able to
customize zooming, you should not *need* to use View->Zoom->Other.
Just highlight the first character in the popup (assuming the popup
says something like '800%'), type 6, hit Enter. No dialog required.

You can enter the value directly in the entry at the bottom of the image
window. And if you do that once, it will add itself to the popup of that
image window.
