I just realized that it probably isn't supposed to work, as the  
scaling of snapshots is restricted to discrete values, so continuous  
scaling won't work.

Apparently Apple *does* implement this in PDFKit on Intel machines (I  
can only see that on PPC it is not implemented). I explained above why  
it doesn't work in snapshots. The reason it does not work in the main  
PDF view is that we override the magnification method for something  
else (the magnification tool). Apple should have warned us developers  
about this, or otherwise use a method name we cannot so easily  
overwrite. So I consider this an Apple bug, and filed a bug report  
with them.

I think also this is implemented natively by PDFKit, so it's automatic.

BTW, what do you mean with "in BibDesk"? Where in BibDesk?
