Finder always minimizes
In FINDER, when clicking on, for example, a picture, Is there a way to make finder stay open full screen, so it doesn't minimize to the dock?
Thanks for any advice

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, MoopaD!
I understand you're having trouble maintaining Finder open while clicking on a file. I'd be happy to provide information on what's happening.
If you have Finder set to full screen, this will continue happening. However, you can maximize the window and maintain Finder open: Manage windows on Mac
"Maximize or minimize windows
On your Mac, do any of the following in a window:
- Maximize a window: Press and hold the Option key while you click the green maximize button
in the top-left corner of an app window. To return to the previous window size, Option-click the button again. - You can also double-click an app’s title bar to maximize the window (as long as the option to do so is set to “zoom” in Dock preferences).
- Minimize a window: Click the yellow minimize button
in the top-left corner of the window, or press Command-M. - You can set an option in Dock preferences to have a window minimize when you double-click its title bar.
Most windows can be manually resized. Drag the window’s edge (top, bottom, or sides) or double-click an edge to expand that side of the window."
I hope this helps.
Have a great day!
