The VideoLAN Forums

Hello there!
For a long time we are asking ourselves this. How can you open a video in full screen just by clicking the file? Now i still have to use the 'F' key to get the movie in a nice black frame.
Using linux mint 19 and 20.

Hi, you can go in Tools > Preferences > Video and toggle the Fullscreen checkbox, it will open in fullscreen from a file browser.

ok, that works nice, thanks Skantes!
