P: Support for native full-screen mode on macOS

I think native OS X Lion/Mountain Lion full screen support is a must for Adobe CS6 apps. The way native full screen apps behave, the way you can swipe between them and re-organize them, while still leaving me a "desktop" to do miscellaneous tasks on, has me trained to expect all good software to support this workflow.

Currently when I run an Adobe app, it puts a snag in my workflow, and is in general unpleasant to use compared with other software.

Please implement this in your CS6 apps.

"masterful" users rarely use the menubar, just shortcut keys.

You don't have Control-F2 enabled (focus on menu)?
Works in fullscreen mode with cs5.

I already posted more detailed message on Adobe's Photoshop CS6 forums:

I was very disappointed that Photoshop CS6 Beta doesn't have Lion fullscreen mode support. When Lion was launched I was actually foolish enough to think that all Adobe CS5.5 apps will have update within a month to support Lion fullscreen mode. Photoshop's full-screen mode just doesn't function the way I want after I fell in love with Apple's implementation.

When in "Standard Screen Mode" Dock is visible and hiding it isn't solution because I want to see it when on desktop space. And the problem got more momemtum when I switched over to 16:9 screen from 16:10 screen...
When in "Fullscreen Mode with Menubar" the same Dock-problem persists.
When in "Fullscreen Mode" (and press Tab-key to get panels visible), which is quite close to Apple's fullscreen mode, another problem appears – menubar is unaccessible, thus making this mode unusable.

The crude solution is to manually hide Dock everytime I use CS apps for extented time, which is – needless to say – frustrating.

When using multiple CS apps Lion's fullscreen mode would automatically make own desktops for each of them, saving effort to manually make desktops and drag apps into them (Mission Control).

The funny thing is that Lightroom 3 has samekind of fullscreen modes but "true" fullscreen mode which hides Dock, keeps menubar also accessible unlike Photoshop.

Hopefully more Lion features (and Mountain Lion) will come to CS6 apps.

Another thought occurred to me. Even for the most masterful of Photoshop users much of the tools in Photoshop are still accessed from the menubar, and in fullscreen mode this is hidden until your cursor moves to the top of the screen.

I imagine for a Photoshop Fullscreen mode to be truly beneficial the functions from the menubar would need to be moved into the application window itself. This might be a major deterrent to this feature's development.

I have always had strange issues using any screen mode of Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign with Mission Control, and previously Expose/Spaces. Having true OS X Fullscreen support would be fantastic for those of us who do include MC in our workflow.

At the risk of being "that guy" who knows nothing about programming and says "It should be so easy to do this!" – I do think extending the current "Application Frame" mode would be the most appropriate option for full screen mode, it already performs (expanded to the full screen size) much like Native Fullscreen apps in Lion, but would be made perfect by playing nice with Mission Control.

I can see how some people may not use full screen apps or mission control, but as a full-time programmer I have found it to really useful to organize my desktops and open applications with these features. Now that I'm used to full screen apps and mission control, I can't stand when an app doesn't support these OS features. Adobe should at least offer it as an option for Lion users who do utilize these features.

Expecting native OSX Lion features features like fullscreen and autosave/versions in Photoshop cs6.

indeed. starting to see a system here... 😞

I must say I was really disappointed today launching Adobe Photoshop CS6 Beta and not seeing Lion fullscreen icon...
