How do you specifiy the degree of zoom on the ‘one click’ action?
open pic in loupe - use CTRL + mouse wheel to set the degree of zoom that you want to be the default. Then this setting is sticky until you next change it. So move on to the next pic and click once, the same zoom factor will be in play.
