No support for multi touch zoom

Post by kimi »

Hi all,
All my other applications can gently recognize my notebook's touchpad's multi-touch zooming feature using TWO fingers at the same time but XNVIEW DOESN't. When i use multi touch zooming nothing happens, no problem in Windows Photo Viewer and internet browsers.

What's up with XNVIEW using latest version?

Thanks!

I wanted to mean multi touch ZOOMING, don't be mislead by 'scrolling'. When you move(drag) your two fingers from left-bottom to top-right or vice versa, the content of application (the image that's displayed by xnview) must be zoomed in or zoomed out which is a common feature with multitouch supporting touchpads. Windows photo viewer works just fine as well as internet browsers, pdf reader..but doesn't work in XnView. Thanks!

There are several "affordable" Win7 tablets available now. A perfect fit for a touch-enabled XnView.

Please, Pierre? Touch/gesture should be your next addition to XnView, IMO, even though I personally couldn't make use of it... yet!

What a splash XnView could make by being ready for Win8 tablet edition (and the MS app store) in 2012.

Actually, what i think is that, Pierre, you should just implement the keyboard/mouse shortcut of CTRL+Mouse Wheel Up/Down. It has the same effect with multi-touch toucpads as well as tablets. Once XnView recognized CTRL+Mouse Wheel Up/Down, it's easy for you to interpret it as zoom in and zoom out, that's all.
