QML PinchArea not working

[Rikudou_Sennin]

Hello,

I am trying to make an image zoomable via PinchArea and can't find a way to do it. I log the onPinchStarted and onPinchUpdated events, but they never fire.

Here is image and pinch area (the source and visibility is set via timer):

Image {
            id: mainimage
            visible: false
            source: ""
            fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit
            width: column.width;
            z: 10
            PinchArea {
                id: imagepinch
                width: mainimage.width
                height: mainimage.height
                pinch.target: mainimage
                pinch.minimumScale: 1.0
                pinch.maximumScale: 5.0
                pinch.dragAxis: Pinch.XAndYAxis
                anchors.fill: parent
                z: 20
                onPinchStarted: {
                    console.log("started");
                }
                onPinchUpdated: {
                    console.log(pinch);
                }
            }
        }

Here is the timer that sets the source:

Timer {
                id: checktimer
                interval: 1000
                running: true
                repeat: true
                onTriggered: {
                    if(jsondata) {
                        checktimer.running = false;
                        loadinglabel.visible = false;
                        json_o = JSON.parse(jsondata);
                        jsondata = "";
                        mainimage.source = json_o.src;
                        mainimage.visible = true;
                        imagepinch.height = mainimage.height;
                        var koef = mainimage.width / json_o.width;
                        var h = koef * json_o.height;
                        mainimage.height = h;
                        imagepinch.height = h;
                        console.log(imagepinch.x,imagepinch.y);
                    }
                }
            }

Try moving your pincharea outside of the image you are scaling. Either wrap the image inside the pincharea or keep them as siblings. I avoid putting things like pincharea and mouseareas inside things i am scaling as it can really mess with your x,y cordinates on click/select events as things scale.
