Hi there!
Thomas (speleo3) has just implemented pinch-to-zoom for the Inkscape canvas.
As our devs don't have the necessary hardware/system combination to test the new pinch-to-zoom feature for the upcoming Inkscape 1.0 on Linux, we're looking for someone who
- has a working multi-touch touch screen or multi-touch trackpad
- on a Linux system (most easily probably Ubuntu/Linux Mint/other Ubuntu derivatives, where we have a ppa for installing)
- with current (newer than Dec. 22nd 2018) Inkscape master development version installed (find installation options here: https://inkscape.org/releases/master/
- preferably ppa or self-compiled, as the containerization by snap/flatpak could (maybe?) interfere with testing).
Please post your findings here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/412#note_127007239
Documentation will be available here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/1.0#Canvas (not written yet as of now)
Thank you!
Maren
