Natural Scrolling and Pinch-to-zoom using Apple Trackpad in Bridge Full-Screen-Previews

Using apple’s trackpad in Photoshop is great; 2-finger gestures work exactly as expected:

• pinch to zoom is smooth, infinitely variable, and intuitive 

• 2 finger swiping pans the image across the screen naturally, and with no friction, and in any x,y direction

 

But these same gestures in Bridge are clumsy to the point of being almost useless:

• 2 finger swipes up and down somehow zoom the image in, and in drastic, huge jumps.  I’ve often gone from 100 to 800% in one stuttery motion

• 2 finger swipes left and right are somehow exactly the same as up and down

• pinch-to-zoom is currently possible, but it’s stuck in these same uselessly-quantized jumps.  I want arbitrary zoom!

 

Please rewrite the full screen preview behavior, so that I can use standard Apple Trackpad inputs just as I can do in Photoshop - and just as they work in Apple’s own programs.

 

Thank you
