Fit on Screen automatically in Photoshop

Hello!
Is there a preset in Photoshop CC that each time I open an image, it will fit in the window. Each time I have to use (Command 0) to Fit In View. Is there a setting that fixes this. Thanks!

    Recording an action:

    Create actions in Adobe Photoshop

    or Google, YouTube etc.

    (Note: you will need to insert the menu item for "Fit on screen" into the action as it can't be recorded)

    Script Events Manager:

    or Google, YouTube etc.

    EDIT – Here it is in one video:

    While it would also be simple enough to adapt this one:

    As an update, here's the link and instructions for the CS2 to CC "Fit Image on Screen".

    Anyone have an updated solution, and the current vedrsion states:

     

    You cannot record the painting and toning tools, tool options, View commands, and Window commands. However, you can insert many non-recordable commands into an action using the Insert Menu Item command.

    An updated solution to which specific issue? I don't believe anything has changed. Please provide some detail of exactly what you are trying to achieve.

    You need to record an action, then setup script events manager to automatically play the action when a file is opened.

    Hi there,

    I found a similar forum thread here: Photoshop CS6: Why don't images automatically open in 'Fit Screen' mode, by default?

    Could you please let us know if it helps?

    Regards,
    Sahil

    Thank you for sharing this. Unfortunately the link to the plug does not work anymore. Is there a new plug in?
