P: Support for native full-screen mode on macOS

I must say that full screen apps is a wonderful idea. I can start in such a way some of the apple apps (safari, imail, numbers) - I like switching between them. It will be desirable to enable this option for Ligtroom & Photoshop (both CS and Elements) to behave in similar way under new Mission Control stuff...

It would be nice if Adobe would catch up with the latest OSX features so we can benefit from a better full screen experience with the CC apps, which so far has been quite frustrating to deal with, when compared to how the rest of apps work.

Now that OSX Mavericks has improved Full Screen Mode support for multiple displays is this something the the Lightroom Team will consider reviewing?

It has been a long time since Mountain Lion was released and still no true Apple Full Screen mode, despite all the requests. Seems like Adobe just doesn't listen to its customers. Stubborn!

Please add real Mac Full Screen support to LR5. Although your different Full Screen modes are nice, they do not put LR5 into its own Desktop, so it obscures my Dock and doesn't free up the default desktop. I can understand that as a 'Secondary Display' option it's not entirely possible, but could you possibly consider the option to create a desktop automatically and move LR5's window into that Desktop when you switch Full Screen modes?

2 Suggestions: Mac full screen. I use mission control to switch between different full screen apps all the time and it interrupts workflow if I have to do something different to the rest of the applications I am using.

Second: If you were to implement something like this, have it as a free update and not force existing Elements 10 users to upgrade just to have this feature. It's a slap in the face.

Hi, I would really like to see a (mountain) lion full-screen in Lr. It's just a better way to organise the workspace. Also, for some reason notification don't work when Lr is in it's full screen mode (plus I can't enter notification center from there). I guess this problem would be solved as well.

Apple solves the different documents problem in their Pages by placing each full-screen document in its own window; I suppose each could go in their own tab, instead.

Maybe Adobe COULD give us a choice between their version of full-screen and Apple's. They finally relented and gave us a choice between their version of Command-H and Apple's in Photoshop. Why not this, too.

They seem to be stuck with their holier than thou idea that their Windows versions and Mac versions must always be exactly the same, even if their customers think otherwise.

@J453. Regardy your to main point.

>The ability to use multiple displays while in fullscreen mode

The majority of use don't use multiple screen.

>The ability to switch between different document windows while in fullscreen mode

This argument isn't apply to Lightroom

So for Lightroom, can you considerate to add the option to use Mac OS X full screen mode. User will have the chose to use Adobe full screen add Mac OS X.

My 2 cents: I'd like to see an option to allow Mac users to enable OSX FullScreen mode if they wish.

Of course Adobe will go their own merry way without paying too much attention to any votes here. But assuming they are noted in some tiny way, you can +1 the ideas you like, so a -1 Don't Like should be there to add balance (I asked for a -1 button when this forum first appeared). As for "actively opposing", that's rather exaggerated - I made one pretty straight "no thanks" post and then seem to have had to defend the right to do so. Don't you feel your understandable dissatisfaction with Book is getting the better of you? That would be a shame because you're making very persuasive points in that area and in others where we agree.
