Swipe Gesture not Recognized on Macbook Pro (OSX Mavericks) (Qt 5.3)
-
It seems that the swipe gesture is not recognized on the macbook pro using the image gestures example. The pinch / rotate works just fine.
There is a closed bug Qt QTBUG-28126 that reports this as fixed in Qt 5.2. I'm running Qt5.3.
Has anybody gotten the SwipeGesture to work a macbook pro with the trackpad?
Or do I need to resort to creating a customer recognizer for this basic function?Any help is appreciated.

Just for info, the swipe gesture in Qt require 3 touch points to activate on a touchscreen.
Don't have much info with trackpad, need to check the source code in Qt.

@sam: Thanks for the info.
That might be the problem. The MacBook Pro grabs the 3-point swipe gesture to show a multi-desktop view, which might explain why I never see that gester event. I wonder if anyone has been able to get this to work on the mac with a trackpad.

Other than that you can also write your custom gesture by sub classing "QGestureRecognizer":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qgesturerecognizer.html
Have a look at this "example":http://developer.nokia.com/community/wiki/Custom_Swipe_Gestures_in_Qt

@jxem This is probably too late, but I just wanted to write this answer for reference.
If you are using a Trackpad:
- go to System Preferences > Trackpad
- Select 'More Gestures'
- Change 'Swipe between pages' to 'Swipe with three fingers'
- Then you can use three fingers to activate the Swipe Gesture in your Qt application.
