Can't fullscreen

[duramato]

I've been using the \ key to fullscreen openpht, but now after updating to the latest version it seems i can't anymore
Is it a configuration somewhere?

I have the same issue.

Windows 7 x64

\ does nothing. It used to switch between fullscreen and windowed.

The hotkey functions for this may have disappeared in the current versions of OpenPHT, but you can still switch between windowed and fullscreen modes using the submenu entry:

Preferences > System > Advanced > Display mode

That entry also allows you to place the fullscreen display on an alternate monitor if present.

Another important entry is:

Preferences > System > Advanced > Use fullscreen window

This entry allows you to have a fullscreen display on one monitor (really a borderless window), while using another monitor to do other computer tasks during playback.
For example: I'm playing a show episode using OpenPHT right now, on the secondary monitor of this PC, while writing this post.

I do agree that some hotkey for switching modes should be reimplemented, but until then I hope you can settle for doing it through the 'Preferences' submenus.

Seems to be a similar issue in PMP https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/219030/hitting-backslash-exits-full-screen-but-does-not-reenter-full-screen

On 1.6, that is bugged as well. After initially setting it, it does work. But sometimes upon opening OpenPHT it'll revert back to windowed mode.

If I just quit OpenPHT and open it again, it is back to full screen, but when I go to the settings it says windowed.

It stays fullscreen (even though settings say windowed) until I leave my computer for a while and come back to it and try to open OpenPHT again, then it's windowed.

So the Hotkey isn't working AND setting it manually is flaky and not retaining it's settings.

On top of that 1.6.0 ignores also multiscreen settings. I had to change from windowed to Full screen #3. Starting playback moves full screen back to main screen (#2). After restarting app OpenPHT comes back on full screen #3 and sometimes after starting playback back to screen 2.

[NedtheNerd]

Can you check in newly released 1.6.1 and advise.

[jryanishere]

It appears to be fixed. The \ key is working and it is remembering my display mode settings.
