How do you open Photoshop CS3 or CS4 automatically to "Fit Screen" each time you open an image?Good question.
How do you open Photoshop CS3 or CS4 automatically to "Fit Screen" each time you open an image?Create a simple action using the "fit on screen" menu option and then call that action in the script events manager.

Yes, that works fine, but there is one thing you need to know: you cannot record such an action, because 'Fit to Screen' is ignored during recording. To solve this, start a new action and stop it again, so you have recorded nothing. Then select the (empty) action and choose 'Insert Menu Item'. This gives you the chance to insert 'Fit to Screen' in the action after all.

You don't need to stop an action to use the "insert menu item". Just create a new action, select the "insert menu item" from the action menu and hit "fit on screen". Now stop the action and set up the scripts event manager to run the action on opening a document.

That's the same thing, only doing it in a different order. As long as you understand how it can be done without the possibility of recording this step.

You don't seem to be making much sense. The way you record a menu item is to use the "insert menu item" option from the action pallet menu. That's the way it works. That's how you record a menu item using an action. I don't see what point you are trying to make.
