Image gallery does not support mouse wheel / trackpad zoom #3194

Description

Describe the problem

Currently, images opened in the image gallery cannot be zoomed using the mouse wheel or trackpad scroll.
Users must rely only on the zoom-in / zoom-out buttons, which feels unintuitive compared to common image viewers.

Expected behavior

Scrolling up/down on an image should zoom in and out smoothly when the image gallery is open.

Actual behavior

Scrolling over the image has no zoom effect.

Why this matters

  • Mouse wheel / trackpad zoom is a common UX pattern
  • Improves accessibility and usability
  • Especially useful for large images and screenshots

Environment

  • Rocket.Chat Desktop
  • Image gallery (Swiper-based)
  • Desktop platforms (Windows / Linux / macOS)

Additional context

Zoom buttons already exist, so scroll-based zoom can reuse the same internal logic without breaking existing behavior.
