No pinch to zoom in Finder??

[m7ammed]

It seems I can't pinch to zoom in finder is this a bug ? or am I missing some setting??

 

[kbmode]

I can't find this feature in the finder preferences

I used to be able to go to finder > preferences > advanced and set the pinch for icon size. it's gone now.

maybe there's a way to do it from the terminal. will post here if i find a solution.

Extremely devastating and utterly disappointing!

no more pinch to zoom in Finder or Desktop
how in the world would apple think it'd be an AWESOME idea to eliminate this function!!!!!????? this is stupid, no better words to describe it

and they even killed the 4finger swipe to switch apps.... had to install BetterTouchTool to get it back myself
but no way to adjust this zooming function.......

I totally agree, I can't believe this functionality has gone missing! wtf Apple

Will there be a terminal fix or could BetterTouchTool add pinch to zoom in Finder in a future update?

so anybody was able to find a fix for this?

I actually applaud the removal of this feature. Not once in 22 months of multi-touch Mac ownership did I find a time when it would have been useful, and it was always frustrating to accidentally resize everything on the desktop.

I agree with ya. Pinch to zoom on the finder added no usefulness for me.

No kidding. I'd go to a finder window and my icon would magically either shrink to nothing or expand to where they could be seen from the moon.

I hear a few people complaining that they activated pinch to zoom in Finder by accident... HTF do you trigger it by 'accident'? Try not sticking two fingers on your trackpad and pinching in and out, not difficult.

The only way to increase icon size now is by using the slider in the status bar.
It at least should had had a keyboard shortcut (like ctrl=/cmd=) so we could had added it in BTT.

Is there any UPDATE on this? It was a really useful feature for me.

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it
