Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Since updating to the new Majave IOS (10.14), photos no longer enlarge when hitting the spacebar within the Photos App. When I do I also get a sound that's indicating not available (I'm assuming). I have to now dbl click to enlarge and reduce back to a thumbnail.
All my photos are stored locally on my 27" iMac (late 2012)
Hitting the spacebar for any other "quick look" function within finder works fine

what genius would do this? crazy, maybe who ever decided to do this, we take away something he/she have done for a better part of ever, and change it, and don't tell them about it... make them search for it.

I don't like it. Years' worth of muscle memory to unlearn. Plus it's inconsistent with the way QuickLook works in the finder. My guess is that it's so Spacebar can mean "play" and "pause" while working on videos. But videos are not the primary thing I manage in Photos. It's photos! I'd love to see a preference added, or maybe an entire "workspace" (complete with its own keyboard shortcuts) specifically for working in videos.

Try using the return key - and to access the editing functions, command-return
Yes true. The space bar no longer expands images in Photos.
Yes that works thanks. Do you know why has apple moved from allowing the spacebar to perform this function to the return key? It's easier to access.
Thanks, that's disappointing.
Welcome.
why fix what wasn't broken in the first place?
Agreed. This is dumb.
