Pinch to resize window

[yegle]

I'd like to be able to resize the window with two finger pinch. I mainly use mpv on OS X, but it would be great if this can be implemented in Linux as well.

Isn't handling this stuff done by the desktop environment / window manager / compositor, etc. pp. ?
I'm not really sure, and can't test for myself right now, but I don't think that this can (or rather should) be influenced from within mpv.

[yegle]

I don't think any window manager will translate "pinch inside window" to "resize window". Even if there is a window manager on Linux that can do that, it's still a valid feature request for OS X users, on which users don't have much control on the window manager customization.

This feature is available in MPlayerX and I hope this could be in mpv as well.

[Hrxn]

But MPlayerX is also for OS X, as far as I know. How do you get from there to implementation "in Linux as well"?

[yegle]

Yes so I'm asking to get this feature in OS X version of mpv, and better if this can also be done in the Linux version.

[Hrxn]

Ah, okay, then I misunderstood, sorry.

[haasn]

The only way I see this getting implemented is in the form of some way to translate multi-touch positional information to Lua code.

Then you could write your own Lua script for pinch-resize (or pinch-zoom, or panning, or gestures, or whatever else you can think of)

Apparently there actually are Lua libraries for multi-touch... So it should/might/can be possible.
