"Zoom Resizes Windows" doesn't work in CS4

I have the "Zoom Resizes Windows" option checked in Preferences. However, when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse (which is assigned to zoom in the Photoshop software), it only zooms in/out on the image within the window. WHY do they put the option in there when it CLEARLY doesn't work???
I have my image document windows "undockable", so that I have the flexibility to move them around and zoom in/out as I please when I have more than one. But the zoom does NOT zoom the document window. It keeps it the same size while moving the image within it. This "Zoom Resizes Windows" option is NOT working.
Is this a joke, or am I missing something? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

I too am having the same issue as Whintersby. I find that it is not pixel related as much as it is the physical size of the resized window.
Note the lower right corner. Once the resize dragger disappears the window will no-longer resize up using the CTRL ++. Unless you first physically drag the corner with the mouse a little. At that point the functionality returns. As Whintersby  has said it is quite frustrating and quite disruptive to a solid work flow.
If anyone has found a solution to this it would be quite helpful.
For any Adobe techs that might be here, I am on Win7 (64).
While this may possibly be a moot point as I intend to upgrade to CS5, I want to make sure that it gets resolved and does not simply continue into CS5.

  • What happened to "Zoom resizes window" in PS CC 2014?

    "Zoom Resizes Window" appears to be broken in PS CC 2014.  Anyone else notice this? Anyone have a solution?

  • Zoom resizes window

    I have been using Imageready for years, and now trying to
    switch to Fireworks, since Imageready is gone... I am afraid I will
    be here a lot to ask questions...
    My first one is: Is there an option to automatically resize
    the window if you zoom in or out with Ctrl-+/-
    In Photoshop you can set it in the preferences: General
    --> Zoom Resizes Windows, but haven't found the equivalent in
    Fireworks. I'd like to organize a number of pictures on the screen
    so that I can make decisions where they go on a webpage...
    Thanks,

    On PC's, document windows don't resize in any program unless
    you resize
    them manually. If they behave that way on Macs, that's a new
    concept for
    me. :-)
    I'm not sure what you mean by images behind it. If you mean
    another
    document you have open, either click on its tab at the top
    left of the
    document window, or undock the document windows by choosing
    Window >
    Cascade.

  • Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

    Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
    Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

  • The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens.

    The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens. It also doesn't zooms in while pressing the home button to return. The gesture is just like any other Android phone. Like while closing an app by pressing the home button the icons seem like zooming in and falling back to their respective places. This thing happens in my friends' iPhones but this thing doesn't happen on my iPhone 5C. Please help.. I am unable to find anything wrong with the settings either.

    I have another query though. Is it possible to always logged into my Gtalk from iPhone? I am using an app called Gtalk Lite. But every time I double press the home button and swipe up the apps to close them from running in the background Gtalk lite logs me off. I have to log in to Gtalk lite again. I was looking for something like that happens on Android phones. You are always logged in even after you close them from running in the background. And also is it possible to log in to more than one gmail account on Gtalk in iPhone?

  • Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

    Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

    When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
    Here is a method:
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • Zoom Resizes Window Problem

    I've got CS2 and I'm finding it very annoying that whenever I zoom in or out in a document the window resizes. I can have two documents open and their windows neatly sized to fit the screen, I zoom in on one and suddenly that document is filling the whole screen. Yet, when I go to Edit / Preferences / General I see that the 'Zoom Resizes Window' box is unchecked.
    The only way I can zoom in without the window resizing is via the Navigator window. But that's more awkward. Any ideas anyone?

    Ah, excellent, thanks Ed, I didn't notice that check box. A case of too many check boxes spoils for wroth .. perhaps?

  • Adobe reader X (10.1.2) Zoom and Copy doesn't work

    Hi guys,
    I installed Reader X yesterday and now I'm stuck with these 2 problem
    I cannot zooming by using ctrl+mouse wheel (up or down), zooming with ctrl+(plus or minus) still work. This feature also work fine on FireFox, Chrome and other programs. In addition, I cannot left click to drag pages down with hand tool.
    Another problem is everytime I copy text from a pdf file, there is a message that "There were an error while copying to the Clipboard. An internal error occured".
    All above features works fine on Reader 9 and older versions. I'm using Windows 7 Home 64-bit.
    Please help

    v10.1.3 seems to solve this issue, but...
    For me Ctrl+minus doesn't work... it confuses it with Ctrl+6 
    Maybe because I'm on AZERTY keyboard and - and 6 are on same key

  • Safari 5.0.1 Zoom in shortcut doesn't work

    The zoom in shortcut ( cmd + ) doesn't work anymore.
    The zoom out shortcut (cmd -) does still work.
    Zoom in through the menu does work.
    Anybody with similar problems or a solution?
    I already tried a restart and disabling Snapz Pro X as I recently updated that.

    HI,
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If you can "cmd +" then move that .plist file to the Trash.
    Also, empty the cache from the Safari Menu Bar.
    If you have any third party Safari add-ons, that could be a factor.

  • When I move a harddrive with Bootcamp from my mac pro to my macbook, windows doesn't work

    I have a 13" Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook and the topcase-keyboard doesn't work and so for some reason, it makes it impossible for me to install windows on the bootcamp partition. While the windows installer is running, it doesn't recognize usb keyboards. So I decided to install windows 7 professional on that same drive using my Mac Pro. The installation worked perfectly.
    Then I take that harddrive and I move it back to my MacBook and windows won't start up correctly, stating that something has changed (of course!...duh).
    Can anyone help me with a workaround for this?
    Has anyone had similar problems moving a windows partition in bootcamp from one mac to another?
    How can I install windows on a MacBook without a working topcase?
    I've posted this question to the Snow Leopard community because that's the OS I'm using.

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Windows doesn't work

    Hello,
    I've just upgraded my computer to Mountain Lion (from Leopard) and Microsoft windows 'the Power PC applications are no longer supported'.  I've tried to download different version of Microsoft windows - still doesn't work.  Help!?
    I'm aware that this question may have been posted but somehow can't access the main community room.
    Thanks
    Odyle

    You can't run Windows on a Mac unless you use BootCamp or a third-party utility such as Parallels Desktop.
    Perhaps you mean Microsoft Word (which is part of the MSOffice suite).
    Only MSOffice 2008 and later will run in Mountain Lion.
    However there are very good free alternatives, such as LibreOffice.

  • Locate file window doesn't work

    Ok, this problem occures only on our Z800 workstations.
    Everything works as expected on my laptop.
    When I try to relink a media file, the relink media window opens, and then I click the Locate button.
    The new window ALWAYS opens in the top most level (basically My Computer in windows) and not in the last used directory.
    I think it has something to do with the second problem - the path text box doesn't work. Whatever I enter there and click Return - nothing happens. It doesn't navigate to the folder specified in the path field. The only way to navigate is to go throught the folder tree on the left.
    For every file I have to do it always from the top most level - that is a lot of clicking.
    Also if I uncheck Use Media Browser to locate files, the default windows dialog properly navigates to the last known location of the file.
    I know it's an error - since on my laptop everything works fine. The window opens in the last know location of the media file and I can easily navigate using the path field.
    Any suggestions what could be the reason for this?

    Jim Simon wrote:
    I'm not sure if this is a bug.  The Locate File dialog seems to be opening where it thinks the file might be, rather than where it was.  For example, I renamed the 0000.mts file for a particular project, and when I opened Premiere Pro, Locate File went to the 0000.mts file from another project/folder, thinking that might be it.
    So...if you have no other files that might be the missing file, the dialog starts at the top.
    Jim,
    I understand what you are saying in regard to where it thinks it might be. However if I manually type a path where a file I want to link to rathter then clicking 20 times in the folder tree, it throws a "File not accessible" error. Yet if I use the folder tree to navigate to the same file it sees it and links to it fine.
    It just seems that whenever I try to manually type a path in the path address field is when the error occurs.
    Are you able to manually type in a path > hit enter/return and have it link to the file?

    By default the router will use admin for either the password only or for both username and password. If it doesn't work you might have changed this before when you ran the setup cd the first time. Is the cisco connect software installed in the computer? You can check thru cisco connect what the router password is. Just go to "router settings" then check what the router password is. With cisco connect, your network password (wireless security key) is the same as the router password. Otherwise you'll have to reset the router for 10 seconds and it will goback to the default "admin" password or you may run the setup cd again.
