No trackpad gesture works on Finder. Extremely disruptive to my regular workflow as I depend on a 4-finger click to trigger cmd+tab for switching back and forth between 2 apps.

Tried restarting, updated to alpha, re-created the trigger, nothing works. All other apps recognize trackpad gesture triggers, just Finder doesn't.

Finder is in no way special, thus my first guess would be you accidentally disabled BetterTouchTool for Finder:

Thank you! This was it. Though I don't understand how it got enabled, as I hadn't opened BTT in days and was working correctly up until yesterday.
