I'm sure this has been said before but it needs to be said again.
The fullscreen restriction for non-pro users of QuickTime defies all
logic and common sense...The disabled fullscreen, and Pro Pop-up
reminder ruins the user experience that I can potentially create .
You are tying my hands...So please in conclusion stop being so
stubborn and quit disabling fullscreen mode
I won't argue that the current policy is wrong-headed, but you've got
it wrong here:
Full-screen mode is not disabled for non-Pro users. The QT Player's
menu item for going to full-screen is. That's it. QuickTime can
always take over the full screen, but those using the Player as their
interface to QT can't use the Player to put movies into full-screen.
Movies played in the QT Player can themselves jump into full-screen,
and a simple Applescript can do force the Player to do it too.
Between upgrading to v. 7 and re-purchasing a Pro license, I ran this
one all the time:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
tell movie 1
present
end tell
end tell
And off my movie went to full-screen in the totally non-Pro Player I
was running.
Unless something changed with the latest minor upgrade, this should
still be true.
