Sharing is fun . "3 finger zoomer" à la Touch Designer

Last week I saw my friend working in Touch designer and I was very
compelled by the built in zoom in/out UI. Created a nice workflow.

I first looked for 3rd party external that would give
the mouse scroller values but had no success.

So I decided to create a tiny patch using the macbook pro's trackpad.
Basically, you use 3 fingers on the y axes to zoom in and out.
To built this I used a cool 3rd party external called "fingerpinger".

I believe this will only work in 32bit mode since [fingerpinger] would have to be recompiled for 64bit mode.

Enjoy and please feel free to elaborate :-)

yeah, cool approach!
I typically do something like this in Better Touch Tool:

I once had it assigned to a midi controller. That was... weird.

woah cool tool mate , thanks. I didn't know of better touch tool.

I was able to set it up , but as I "3 finger swipe" it only executes the zoom in-out action once.
I didn't not find a way in BTTool to have an action repeat as you swipe.

thanks again
