I found this too when importing larger images!

Can confirm experienced a similar issue with large images

Perhaps both full-resolution picture and thumbnail can be saved.. switching between them when zooming close enough..

Working with building drawings is almost impossible that way.

My temporary solution is automatically cutting large image into multiple smaller ones and then stacking them up vertically united in a group, but I wish it would be possible to keep it as a single image.

Interesting approach.
Our drawing documents (pdf) are usually either A0 or A1 in size and I guess we would have to make a lot of cutting and "glueing" together.
Not possible to convince our more than 100 colleagues to use it in this manner.

As I am just researching this, it seems like almost every other whiteboard out there has a similar problem.
I can understand the speed implification the quality has, but then it should be that way that only the zoomed in portion is rendered properly. Somehow like google maps does it.

Interpreting our pdf as vector data might also help a lot, but as there is no way to import a pdf directly all this is gone anyways.
