1. Re: Illustrator Application Window Resizes When Opening Smart Object from PSD
Mylenium Mar 26, 2010 12:34 AM (in response to jeffo1477)Unrelated to any of the Adobe apps, I dare say. Sounds more like your graphics card driver is resizing the application Window to its default size. This is a common issue and cannot be influenced by Adobe. You need to adjust your NVidia or ATI settings accordingly, e.g. by creating a special app profile for AI that always starts the app maximized to both screens.

Yes, I fear this is true. I've had this issue with Illustrator under Windows for years. I run the app maximized, but any operation that loads a file for editing, (InDesign's Edit Original command, Photoshop Smart Object, Dbl-Clicking an AI File in Windows Explorer), other than File > Open, un-maximizes it. I suppose I've learned to live with it. One thing you can do is resize the "normal" window so that it's (close to) the same size as maximized. If you can get the near-maximized "normal" window size to stick as I have, it won't be as bothersome.

Wade_Zimmerman Mar 26, 2010 5:18 AM (in response to John Mensinger)I just want to point out that when you open the smart object of course it is not the same file as the original but an embedded copy of it.
That might also have something to do with this issue and might also be a photoshop issue with the smart object and one reason might be that Photoshop is see the image as resolution and Illustrator sees it as a dimension and the teams might be able to do something about this but might not actually be aware of it unless you file a report even if it is not a bug it would then be a feature request.
They might not be able to do anything about it but then there might be a clever engineer with an idea, so it might be worth the report.

jeffo1477 Mar 26, 2010 7:00 AM (in response to Wade_Zimmerman)Thank you all, Very much. Mylenium. Yea, it's a fairly fresh load of Win 7 and now that I think about it it started after I got a driver update this week. I've rolled back my OS. Will write back to this if that helps for others in the future.
John, Thanx for the suggestion, I'll try that. Looking at it, it's almost the size of my laptop screen from my remote desktop sessions. Hmmmm.
Wade, Where would I post my comment? In the Feature Requests forum??
thanx again everyone,
jeff
