confused over K4 and pictures .. can someone check

I have a K3 and use it to view diagrams (but should also apply to Manga) in large jpg format by putting the jpgs (1000 x 1000 pixels size) in the pictues folder and using the picture viewer to view them. I can zoom and pan the pictures using the key shortcuts. It also works if I put the jpgs in a zip folder and put in either the pictures folder or the documents folder. I do not need to use Alt Z to get it listed on the K3 (altho I think Alt Z is required for the K1 and K2)

I am interested in buying a K4 NT but would like to know if large jpgs can be viewed ... if they can display in the picture viewer full size then I should be able to pan them using the 5 way controller ... but not zoom since the K4 does not have a hardware keyboard for the zoom shortcuts.

Could someone run a check for me :

1. take a large black and white jpg (1000 x 1000 pixels)
2. Zip it into a folder
3. Put the zipped folder in either the documents folder or the pictures folder on their K4 (preferably try both options seperately). I'm assuming the jpg wont display unless its in a zipped folder.
4. The jpg should now be listed on the T4 and be openable in the picture viewer ... does this work if it is in the documents folder? Does this work if the zip is in the pictures folder?
5. Does the jpg open full size and can be panned using the 5 way controller? ... or is it resized down to simply be screen sized on the T4?

I have had conflicting feedback as to what people think should happen ... I'd be interested to hear from someone who has actually done the above! I really need to be able to view black and white diagrams at large scale ... but since Manga readers also use this type of viewing option it may be of interest to them too
many thanks
steve
