I know that the mouse wheel can be set to zoom (instead of scroll) in Affinity Designer but I need to do the same in Affinity Photo and I can't seem to find the command in the Preferences menu. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Under Preferences >Tools  "Use mouse wheel to zoom"

Affinity Photo  2.3.1

At least in the Mac versions, it is in the same place for both Affinity Photo & Affinity Designer.

Tip: Typing "zoom" in the preferences search box will highlight "Tools," making it easy to find:

I don't know if that works on Windows, though.

However, (on a M1 Macbook Pro) after set under Preferences >Tools  to "Use mouse wheel to zoom" – the change does not get applied. At least not when using a (2nd gen) Apple "Magic Mouse". Is this only me?

Edit: I have to add: does not get applied as expected.
It does not work for <cmd+mouse wheel (scroll)> but it does for <option+mouse wheel (scroll)>.
