Turn Off Rotate on the new TrackPad....?

[fab5freddy]

Is it possible to turn off the "Rotate with fingers feature on
the new Trackpad on my new MacBook Pro Unibody 15" ??

It is very annoying when doing photoshop and accidently rotating the image !

I really would like to turn this feature off.

thanks !

I'm pretty sure you can pick and choose which multitiouch gestures you wish to have enabled in the trackpad preferances.

How you get there, I don't know. I don't have a mac

Um, my MBP is in the repair shop, but as I remember, you cannot just turn off that one gesture.

Have you thought of MultiClutch? Go google it
It's a program that lets you assign gestures. Maybe you can use the "Zoom-in" and "Zoom-ou" so that it behaves.. to well.. nothing. haha. assign it to space bar or something

Yea, there's no way to turn off Rotate by System Preferences ( Picture Below ). You might be able to disable it by modifying the Files, but I Don't Know how To Do That. I haven't tried doing the MultiClutch Method so Try that.

EDIT : Tried the Multi Clutch Method in Preview as I Don't have PhotoShop. It Does Work for this. Just Map it to something that does nothing/Random Keys.

As far as Apple's preferences go, there is no way to turn of rotate at the moment.

You can see all the options in System Preferences > Trackpad.

Found something on Adobe.com

Adobe offers a tool to disable this on Macs - haven't tried it yet, but will be nice to have when working!

Or have a look in trackpad preferences again if you're running Snow Leopard. Running 10.6.2 and I can tick or untick rotate.
