[Mac] How can I change the scroll direction into natural mode when I use the trackpad to zoom in or out?

My device is Mac.
I have found that when I want to zoom in with two fingers sliding down the trackpad, image zoomed out actually. So I have to slide two fingers up in order to zoom in the image. That's why I felt hard to operate the app because it goes against my habit.
I wonder if someone can teach me, how can I change the scroll direction into natural mode when I use the trackpad to zoom in or out?

  Shawn,

  There is no adjustment for this.  Maybe in a future version.

  What other apps do you have that have trained you to expect the opposite?  When we implemented this I checked a few other apps and talks with several people and we felt this was the natural direction and the one most other apps use.

  Bill,

  Thank you for your kindly reply. I guess maybe you forgot to check the macOS-accessory maps app, because its zoom-in/out direction on a mouse wheel is exactly what I am accustomed to. Also, this app "Essential Anatomy 5" uses the same zoom-in/out direction as well.

  I look forward to the coming update with the direction adjustment toggle:)

  Oh BTW, I'd like to report a bug-like stuff. The Galaxy View shows the correct information when the visual angle is coming from the Earth. But when you have selected the orbit mode of an object, then the Galaxy View would show the wrong information. It seems like the coordinates of the "Sun" used in the Galaxy View are not constants.
