Increase file icon size independent of font size?

Help & Support

Problem
When you increase the size of the font for the filenames, the file icons keep their size:

What would I like
The file icons getting resized as well:

What I've tried

  1. Searching for an option to enable this behavior: couldn't find any.
  2. Using the thumbnail column and enabling 'Hide icons when thumbnail column is visible': this almost gets me there (see previous screenshot) but, as you can expect, movie files show a thumbnail instead of the file icon:

    What is interesting is that, after entering a folder with movie files in it, you can see the file icon for those files perfectly resized for a split second before being replaced by the thumbnail, so I tried to tell Dopus to stop generating thumbnails:
    1. Disabled all plugins in Preferences/Viewer/Plugins: the thumbnails still get generated.
    2. 'Movies' file type: there's nothing there to disable thumbnail generation.
    3. Searched for an option that allows me to specify which file extensions get their thumbnail generated and which don't: couldn't find any.

My questions

  1. Is there a way to achieve what I'm after that I've overlooked?
  2. If there isn't, could you please consider a feature request to implement this functionality?

Thank you.

If you want the font and icon sizes that much bigger than normal, they're also going to be too small in other software, and you're probably running Windows at the wrong DPI. Increasing the Windows DPI scaling amount and then rebooting will increase the size of both icons and fonts.

(This will be blurry and some things will be at the wrong size, not just in Opus, until the reboot.)

Thank you for the quick response.

I think that could work, I'm gonna try it and will get back to you with the results.

Hello again.

The DPI solution works well. I'm having some problems with other apps, which don't scale well, and some little quirks here and there, but in general it works better than what I was trying, so thank you for pointing me in that direction.

In any case, I'm curious, do you think it would be a good idea:

  1. Increasing/decreasing the file icon size in the same proportion the font size they're attached to increases/decreases?
  2. Giving us some control over which files get thumbnailed? It think this in particular could be useful for performance reasons.

As I said, I prefer the DPI solution so I'm just asking for your thoughts here.

Thank you.

Not bad ideas. Not trivial to implement, either, but maybe in the future.
