ZOOM button is now an OPTION? Not a DEFAULT?

In PS2024, it's come to my attention that the green "zoom" button on each doc window is no longer a green "zoom" button. It's now an "expand" button that pops a doc to full screen, which is a feature I never, ever wanted and will never, ever use. In order to restore the "zoom" function, you have to roll over the green button and hold down the "option" key.

In other words, "zoom" is no longer the default after...how many versions? I've lost count.

Changing long-standard defaults, forcing us to change our reflexive workflow, is terrible UI. If you want to introduce a new feature, don't ram it in as a default. If we have to find a fix by accident, we're not being well served as your customers.

If you check "Settings / Workspace / Enable Native Full Screen"

it will use Apple's standard Full Screen

if you do not check it, it will use Photoshop's standard Zoom

If you change the settings, you will need to restart Photoshop.

One thing to note though - this setting only works if you are using Application Frame, otherwise you will always be in Apple's full screen.

Thank you, but I don't want to use the application frame. It's an obstacle. And it was never required before PS2024.

I like Adobe when they give us new options.
I dislike Adobe when they take them away.
