Re: Indesign Download For Mac
Anfos Sin
Luckily, the solution to my problem was very easy. When Drop Box downloads the InDesign file it adds a .TXT to the file name. Don't know why. All I had to do was delete the ".txt" on the file name and it became a perfect InDesign file. Thank you to the pepole who replied!!

I still have the same problem as you in that if I ty to download a single file I get a text file - just like yours - the problem with the offered solution is that all my indesign files are in the same folder which is huge and I couldnt download the whole thing as my HD at home is too small. So What I did was make a smaller folder and moved the indesign files I needed into that then moved that to the main window and synched. I will try downloading that folder as advised tonight and see if that works too. The only issue there is that I end up with a lot of duplicate files on different machines which is the reason i started using dropbox in the first place - ie to avoid duplicates.
Here it is July 2018 and this is still happening. Deleting the .txt extention or downloading the whole folder fix the problem, but why is this happening? I assumed I was doing something wrong, but we can all be doing something wrong.

Just to follow up on this thread, our engineering team pushed a fix for this late last week - InDesign files should now be downloading normally, without appending a .txt to the end of the file name. If anyone is still experiencing this, please let me know!
I haven't found a solution to the zooming issue, in fact pinching on my touchpad currently scross left and right. However, I have found that hovering the mouse over the scroll bar, whilst using two fingers on the touchpad, allows me to scroll up and down as normal. Hope this is helpful
Exactly same thing for me, it just scrolls left and right. I already knew about hovering on the scroll bar but the problem is that at that point I might as well use it normally. Thanks anyway for your contribution.
Update:
I reopened Illustrator after not using it for a few years, and browsing through the preferences I found this: (Edit > Preferences > General > ) Force Enable Pinch-to-Zoom on Touchpad.
Selecting it solved the zoom problem.
UPDATE:
Upgraded today to 19.0.
Now trackpad gestures work even worse. Basically 9 times out of 10 it doesn't even recognize them and in the remaining 1/10 they work just as badly as before.
Thank you for answering me.
All drivers are updated.
However I can't update to 23H2 due to a windows update error (0x800f081f) and I'm waiting for info from Windows support.
Unfortunately this can't be the problem: I don't have any kind of problem in any software except indesign (although in general the "gesture" experience is not perfect in all the adobe apps I use) and I have had this problem since I started to use indesing (in 2021), well before 23H2 and Id 19.0.
(I asked for help on the forum only now because honestly I only discovered its existence recently.)
I've already tried resetting the preferences and reinstalling InDesign, I believe I mentioned it somewhere in this thread. If not, here it is. As expected, no difference.
Also, under the post about the 19.0 touchpad bug, now ""resolved"", someone commented on the same issue as mine, so it's definitely not an issue specific to my system. I'll repost the screenshot of one of the comments.
