Scaled to Fit/Fill
The 'Slideshow options > Scaled to Fill / Scaled to Fit' function does not work. This is reported more often in the foru and has not been working for the last few years.
E.g. described https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge/to-this-day-quot-scaled-to-fit-fill-quot-in-bridge-slideshow-options-still-does-not-work/
Quoted from forum:
"When a folder of images are all of various pixel dimensions, and a user checks "Scaled to Fit" in Slideshow Options and then runs the Slideshow, one can reasonably assume that EVERY IMAGE SHOULD BE FIT TO THE CURRENT SCREEN, PROPORTIONALLY! The remainder of the image should be letterboxed.
But that simply doesn't happen with Bridge. And it never has. On any OS I have tried it on.
One wonders why Adobe engineers wasted the 10 minutes it took to type those options and their respective checkboxes into the Options dialog box at all.
So completely frustrating.
I don't care if the images range from 10,000 x 10,000 pixels down to 10 x 10 pixels.....every single image in a folder should be stretched up to FIT the screen if you check that Slideshow Option.
Has anybody EVER gotten this "feature" to work in Bridge?"

Agreed, it's crazy that this most basic functionality is not included in an application sold to professionals. I have been trying to figure out why I can't get full, fit-to-screen previews in Bridge and after much searching it appears it simply isn't possible and never has been possible. To those at Adobe, you realize this is and has been possible in OS X finder quick view for like a decade or more? This is like OS level basic functionality but we have to request this as a 'feature' in Bridge? Why is that? This should have been possible since the first version of Bridge. I want to see my images fill the screen with black letter or pillar boxing behind. I don't care about 1 to 1 pixel viewing. If a file is 640x480 pixels on a Retina display, viewing it at 1:1 100% size is useless, it's tiny. Fit to screen is so simple it's painful to even write this as a feature request. It's like a. graphics programming 101 assignment. Make it happen please!

Not working on all the machines at the university. Windows and Mac. It's kinda making it difficult for the students.
This sparked up a huge conversation at the universities here in Sydney Australia is we should be going open source next term.

The link you left does not work. You probably meant this one:
