Neat app, but I'll stay with Clip Show from Mr. Peter Maurer, as expected from him, an amazing application.

QuikTime FS now works with Tiger and QuickTime Player 7. Sorry it took me so long to correct this issue, but I just got back from the Persian Gulf about 3 weeks ago!
QuikTime FS doesn't work with OSX 10.4 Tiger. You can thank Apple for changing the command for the full screen option.
I am currently out to sea in the Persian Gulf so I can't work on the issue. Once I get back home in July I'll work at fixing it.
If any of you know the command line to make QuickTime go full screen let me know and I'll fix it right away!
While I think it's fine for someone to post an application (esp. a free one) that takes advantage of this hidden QuickTime feature, I think everyone should know how easy this is to do yourself.
I found this on the internet (possibly even here in a comment at MacUpdate). Just create this AppleScript:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
present
end tell
I've bound that AppleScript to the F5 key when QuickTime Player is the active app (using Keyboard Maestro). Then, I can activate full-screen whenever I want, right from QuickTime, and don't have to remember to open the movie first in a separate app like this.

First off I am glad that you appreciate developers posting free software.
That script may be easy to you, but not everyone knows how to use AppleScript. That's why I wrote it.
Just what I was looking for, thank you very much. Who cares what its called it does the only extra thing that free quicktime should do. I will be recommending this to all my friends...
I'd rename this if I were you. Calling your application "QuickTime" is probably a violation of Apple's trademarks, patent, and/or copyright.

There are several other programs with the name QuickTime "whatever", however if anyone from Apple contacts me I will be more than glad to change the name. No big deal.

I'm not trying to trick anyone. The program won't work without QuickTime Player.
What would I be trying to trick someone out of? The program is free!
Anyhow, I submitted a change to the name to prevent any trouble in the future. The change should take place sometime today.
