I am wondering why for all its complexity, Graphic Converter 12 seems to lack two basic and intuitive features in the browser:
1. In the preview pane, floating window or full-screen mode, one cannot zoom using the standard system gesture (pinch) that all other apps use.
2. In the thumbnail view, one cannot simply change a filename by clicking on it. The so-called 'simple method' brings up a complex dialogue aimed at renaming multiple files and 'edit filename' deletes the existing filename instead of allowing one to amend it.
I apologise in advance if I am missing something that's configurable, but I would appreciate confirmation.
Many thanks

Re: Zoom Gesture in Preview + Edit Filename
Thanks for your feedback.
1) I add that to the todo list.
2) Just use the return key like in the Finder.

Thanks Thorsten.
Using the Return-Key does not highlight the text as in Finder — such that it can be ammended — I am finding that it deletes the existing filename and places the cursor in the empty field. What am I missing?

Re: Zoom Gesture in Preview + Edit Filename
Return does switch to edit mode. It selects the filename (without extension). Do you maybe enter a second key which replaces the filename?

Re: Zoom Gesture in Preview + Edit Filename
This is bizarre ...I select an item in the browser view. Clicking once on it -OR- pressing the Return key once -OR- selecting Edit Filename in the context menu ...they all delete the existing filename, leaving me with an empty field as shown below.
Help !

Re: Zoom Gesture in Preview + Edit Filename
Do you use the current 12.0.6?
Re: Zoom Gesture in Preview + Edit Filename
Yes I'm using version 12.0.6.
I found the relevant .plist file and removed it to reset preferences. This has fixed the issue.
It would appear however that there is a BUG as I presume any Setting that was intended to change the editing of filenames would have been mentioned as a solution. So now, I am left not knowing which custom-settings I can reinstate without killing the functionality again.
