How do I keep a window at the size I prefer - for example when I want to attach a file to Mail. I open attach and a very small finder window opens. I resize it, so I can see file names and find the file I want. The next time I go back to do the same thing, it's a very small window again.
I just want the window to stay large permanently! It's the same with all other similar things, ie attaching a file via Outlook.

With the release of Big Sur 11.1, Apple has borked the open and save dialogs to miniatures of what was in 11.0.1, and earlier operating systems. There are no user fixes for this issue until Apple understands, and corrects this interface design mistake.
11.2 has fixed the issue for me.
I urge everyone to give Apple your feedback regarding this issue. Hopefully they're listening. I know this issue specifically is driving me f'n insane! Feedback - macOS - Apple
I just installed 11.2 beta and they have fixed the issue.
It just blows my mind that Apple can display such a poor QC and release a "updated" iOS with such a serious (from a usability perspective) flaw. I've been waiting for an update ever since v11 came out, but it certainly not have happened yet. Thousands of Apple employees must have the same issue. But maybe they fear retaliation if they voice their opinions.
I'm a book designer and so frustrating and time-consuming when I am laying out a book with hundreds of illustrations. I need to scroll or enlarge the window before placing the images EACH TIME. Apple, please fix this problem.
This is driving me utterly crazy. Apple are definitely depending heavily on user loyalty with 'features' like this.
Surely they have professional product managers who do proper field trials with customers in the real world?!
It only takes one lean startup to listen to customers properly, with the right backing to give a Golaith like Apple a bloody nose..
I have the same problem. 2 Big Sur issues still not resolved... finder window size and Untitled SD Cards not showing anywhere except for desktop. Please fix. Another I wished they would bring back is tags highlighting the full line in Finder. The little dot does not help much. Wish that was at least and option.
Yep, exactly. I hope there's an easy fix that someone can post!
I really don't understand how these things can happen....
Double urgh...
Please please please post the solution here is you find one! This is driving me crazy!
I'm having the same problem and it really slows down my work flow. And this is why I am so hesitant to do any "upgrades."
Yes, I am having the same issue. As a business user, this is the most annoying problem. I hope they fix it soon.
