Opening File Opens Window Full Screen

When ever I open a file in Illustrator CS5, the window full sizes on me. How can I make Illy not open the window all the way when I open a file?
Thanks for any help or advice on this,
Paul

Hi Larry,
These are any file that I open, mostly new ones are the ones I open.
Where can i look at the new document pref file tht you mention in your post. Is this another txt file I can open and mess with?
Thanks for the help,
Paul

Always open window full screen

I have this app called SizeUp that allows me to use a key combo or mouse to make the window full screen, for all different types of apps I run on the Macbook pro. This does it's job well. What I really want is for all windows to do this by default when they open.
I plug in a second monitor several times a day and then unplug it several times a day to go mobile...maybe 15 times a day back and forth. Each time, for everyone of my apps, Word, Excel, Mail, Chrome, Calendar, Notes, I have to resize the window for everyone. I would guess all of this takes a bunch of my time each day and is definitely annoying.
Does anyone know of a way to get this done or an app that does it?
Thanks

No-one got any ideas on this then? It's definitely a firefox problem, as when I open the forum page (mentioned in the OP) with Opera or Chrome, the emoticons window opens as a small window, same as FF used to before the upgrade.

Open window full-screen

How does one have a browser window resize full-screen on loading?
Not javascript.
Have done this before, just can't remember the exact code.
Something to the effect of:
window.resizeto (screen.availaheight, screen.availwidth)

I am pretty sure, that you need JavaScript just to get close to a fullscreen solution. As far as I know, there isn't a way to fully implement a way, so it does it automaticly. The browsers have been down that road and it was a serious user experience problem. So, my best bet is not in HTML only, and not as soon as the window loads.
There is ways of going into fullscreen, during events, and HTML5 new requestFullScreen() can make it easier in the future. See articles like http://www.longtailvideo.com/blog/26517/using-the-browsers-new-html5-fullscreen-capabiliti es
Please post if you are doing any progress on a HTML-only solution

(on a side-note. The resizeto() method is taking width as the first argument, but i guess that was just a typo :-) )

Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
What can I do?

Regarding the Flash Player problem, disable Hardware Acceleration to circumvent driver incompatibilities.

How do I open all subsequent windows of firefox open in full screen without pressing the f11, only the first window opens in full screen

Since updating a day ago, Firefox will not open on full screen on Windows 7

Accessing from taskbar on Windows 7 shows its open but will not open on full screen. And its also affected my Quicken program, doing the same thing. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still same problems. Did the updates affect my computer? And adobe was updated at the same time. I spent two hours w/ Quicken support, problem still exists. The only change that was made to the computer was the Mozilla update.

Right-click on the shortcut used to open Firefox and select Properties. If you get a Windows Jump list when you right click, right-click on the Firefox entry in the jump list and select properties.
In the Shortcut tab of the properties dialog box, set the Run option to Maximized, then click OK to save the settings.
You can do this for any program.

Remove "Open in Full Screen mode" from multiple files

Hi there,
I just discovered today that I could use Javascript with Acrobat.
I download a lot of ebooks from a certain website that has them all set to open in Full Screen mode. (Properties > Initial View > Windows Options > [x] Open in Full Screen mode)
I could fix a lot of stuff that was annoying me with ebooks from this site, but I can't seem to find anything to disable the full screen thingie...
I tried these commands that I found, but they didn't do the job :
app.fs.isFullScreen = false;app.fullscreen = false;this.fs.isFullScreen = falsev;this.fullscreen = false;
Thanks,
Simo
PS : Using Actobat X

Thank you both for your replies.
With Acrobat Pro you can set the Initial View through the batch process.
Would you mind explaining how to do this for a noob like me?
Thanks,
Simo

Make Flash player window full screen automatically, when it's opening

Hi, all.
It's today I joined Adobe forums so, I don't know much about community guidlines and functionality here. So, pardon me if I do any mistake or something.
This is my problem...
I'm creating an interface with Adobe Flash Catalyst and I want it to be written to a CD and distributed to clients.
When I publish swf, I cannot find an option to make flash player full screen.
I want my SWF file to be opened in full screen mode when the user opens it.
To the best of my knowledge, I think, I cannot do it with Catalyst as it doesn't have coding facilities.
I hope Flash Builder is helpful with kind of times. But I know nothing about FB. Do you know how to do it with Flash Builder ?
( I mean, open my Catalyst project in Builder, then make the edits or something to make Flash player full Screen when opening )
Thanks a lot,
Tharindu.

Want window to open in full screen mode.

Hi
I am doing portal navigation on click of a button. The new window presently opens externally but not in full screen mode. Could anyone please help me acheive the functionality.
If it cannot open in full screen maximized mode. Can I place it in the center of the screen and adjust its size.
Thanks
Prashant

Hi,
as per below method, you can pass correct values to parameter WINDOW_FEATURES.
call method lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
exporting
navigation_target = navigation_data-target
navigation_mode = navigation_data-navigation_mode
window_features = navigation_data-window_features
window_name = navigation_data-window_name
history_mode = navigation_data-history_mode
target_title = navigation_data-target_title
context_url = navigation_data-context_url
post_parameters = ABAP_FALSE
use_sap_launcher = abap_true
business_parameters = bus_parameter_list
launcher_parameters = launcher_parameter_list.
It has values,
RESIZABLE- Windows can be resized
WIDTH- Width of the window
HEIGTH- Height of the window
I hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Chandra

Making apps open in full screen by default WITHOUT resume enabled.

Hi guys,
I love using apps in full screen on Lion and would like to have all apps capable of it open in full screen by default. Unfortunately I've found the only way to do this is to have resume enabled which I really don't like as I find it annoying having to exit out of whatever document I was using last whenever word/acrobat etc. open. Also don't want what I have been browsing on Safari previously to be seen. I have read from other users in the discussions and in other forums that Lion should remember if you have exited an app while in full screen and will re-open in full screen. Unfortunately this is not the case for me as I am having to click my apps in to full screen each time I open them. Does anyone know if there is some sort of preference file I can clear to get this functionality?
Thanks

"How does one choose what player to use when , once saved to desktop, they all seem to open the file regardless of the type extension (.ave , .wmv and so on)?"
You can select a "default" player to open a specific file by following the instructions in #2 of my previous post.
Just make sure whichever player you download is for the Intel Mac.
"For instance , say you`re in a forum and there`e is a "hey , look at this...' type of thing. The "look at this" being an attachment of some sort."
This involves your "browser" plug-ins. Assuming you are using QuickTime, this is done through QuickTime MIME Settings.
Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
Some browsers have their own default player plug-ins that can override QuickTime when you make a player selection on certain website. For instance: Realplayer opens .rm files. QuickTime cannot open .rm files.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes.
Click the OK button.
I would restart just to be on the safe side.
=========================
Sorry, I am not familiar with Intel Macs. Suggest that if you have any concerns besides QuickTime, you may wish to cross-post in the Intel-based iMac Forums where knowledgeable users using the same model computer as yourself hang out.
Maybe it would be easier if you would advise the type of player(s) you are interested in? I am assuming QuickTime since you posted in its forum. Are you having an issue making QT your default player?

Why won't large images open in full screen on first click?

I go to open an image (jpg, png) that has a byte size of 2000 x 3096. What ends up happening, is that it will initially open a full screen window, and after a second or so, that full screen window will shrink to a half screen window. Now I'm required to click the max window size button in the upper right corner to expand the window to full size, right click on the image, select View Image from the drop down menu, and then finally click in the image to get it to display in its full size.
Is there a plug-in, or a config. parameter that I can use, so that the image opens up in full screen mode from the start?

Is this with opening an image link from a web page or with viewing images that you already have stored on the computer?

Opening .pdf via hyperlink in excel always opens reader full screen

Using excel 2003, I have hyperlink cells that point to files on my local machine, with names like "file.pdf".
When I click on these links, excel launches acrobat reader (as expected) but for some reason reader *always* goes Full Screen no matter what I do.
How do I make it open NOT full screen? This is very irritating.

Hi,
You know I have to thank you for the solution as by asking your question you provided me with a way to solve my problem .....
As double clicking a pdf file when the application is open with no open document works as I want it to (i.e. showing the new document in the existing acrobat window), so I decided to try out a plain vanilla shell instruction in vba instead of the AVDOC.Open statement ... and ....although not very programmatically aesthetic .... it works.

Opening pictures full screen as default

I'm using Photoshop Elements 4.0 and here's what I'd like to do. When someone sends me a picture via email, I'd like to automatically open it full screen and view it. As it is, photoshop always opens it in editor mode. Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks, Adrian

Adrian,
I suggest that you change the file association so that the files sent to you via e-mail will open in Window> Picture and Fax Viewer.
To do this:
1. Right click on a JPEG file, such as one sent to you
2. Select>Open with>Choose program, then scroll down to Win & Fax viewer
3. At the bottom of the dialog check the box to always use the selected program to open this kind of file.

Thumbnails perfect but don't open to full screen?

restored iphoto library from time machine.
all photos there in thumbnail but only some open to full screen.
some just show !

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.
