Hi Lewis,
for an image with values between -2 and 600000, a range of 0-100 is
an extreme case. When I set these values, the brightness and contrast
sliders are at the very right end, and any action on the sliders is
too coarse for a sensible adjustment.
I guess that most users don't have such extreme data and want the
sliders to work on the full data range, not on that of the last 'Set'
operation,
I a case like yours, for display I would try to get rid of the
outliers or at least to limit their values (Process>Math>Max, with,
e.g. 1000) - assuming that these are not meaningful values but just
bad pixels.
You could also use the Versatile Wand plugin with a tolerance of,
e.g., 100 (not including holes). Click on some 'normal' pixels and
then click 'auto' - it should give you a nice display (-1 to 31 in
your test image)
