Set a specific zoom level as default in folder/file viewer

The text is a little too small for me. Is it possible to change the default zoom setting?

You mean text in the viewer pane?

Try changing Preferences / Colors and Fonts / Fonts / Text viewer (text).

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what viewer pane is

I’m talking about font of folder/file names.

That didn’t work

The zoom level in the file display?

Easiest via Ctrl+Mousewheel.

Just tried to make it permanent but zoom level is different in different folders/windows

I would like the same font size everywhere

Save it via Settings > Set Lister Defaults.

Thanks! This worked

It sounds like you were setting it via the Folder Format, which is there specifically to allow you to override the default font size in different folders.

The font setting/override there should be left off normally.

Adjust the default font size in Preferences, in the place Lxp pointed to above.
