[Tex/LaTex] How to instruct \fullcite to use maxbibnames rather than maxcitenames

Question

For my PhD thesis, I am including a List of appended papers automagically. To generate the references, I used to use \bibentry, but now I switched to biblatex and headed for \fullcite hoping it to be an equivalent. Alas, \fullcite uses maxcitenames to decide the number of authors; I'd like it to use maxbibnames so that the number of authors printed is like it is in the bibliogaphy.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[maxbibnames=99,maxcitenames=1]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A. and Buthor, B. and Cuthor, C. and Duthor, D.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
This is by \textcite{A01}, or, more completely:
\fullcite{A01}.

\printbibliography
\end{document}

The desired effect:

This is by Author et al. [1], or, more completely, A. Author, B. Buthor, C. Cuthor, and D. Duthor, Alpha, 2001

The actual effect:

How do I get a full citation with all authors (or maxbibnames no. of authors) with \fullcite or a similar command in biblatex? If I change maxcitenames, then Author et al. [1] will also be affected, and this is not desired.

All my \fullcite occurences are concentrated in one part of the document that uses no other citation commands, so a solution temporarily changing maxcitenames would be acceptable for me.

Answer 1

You may change the definition of the \fullcite and \footfullcite cite macros so that they locally use the value of maxbibnames.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[maxbibnames=99,maxcitenames=1]{biblatex}
\makeatletter
\DeclareCiteCommand{\fullcite}
  {\defcounter{maxnames}{\blx@maxbibnames}%
    \usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\usedriver
     {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
     {\thefield{entrytype}}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}
\DeclareCiteCommand{\footfullcite}[\mkbibfootnote]
  {\defcounter{maxnames}{\blx@maxbibnames}%
    \usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\usedriver
     {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
     {\thefield{entrytype}}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}
\makeatother
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A. and Buthor, B. and Cuthor, C. and Duthor, D.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
This is by \textcite{A01}, or, more completely:
\fullcite{A01}.

\printbibliography
\end{document}
