How to increase the thumbnail size in import files dialogue?

How to increase the thumbnail size in import files dialogue? There is no slider.


I don't mean regular Finder window. I know about pressing spacebar and using the column view with preview pane. It's too slow.


Maybe there are some app or terminal command for it?

Don't you have a slider in the bottom right hand corner of the Finder window?



If not give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

Hi Rustam_Himadiiev,


We'd recommend the steps below, which can help with changing the size of thumbnails and icons:


"


Make icons and other items bigger on your Mac

  • Increase the size of icons and text on the desktop: Control-click the desktop, choose Show View Options, then move the “Icon size” slider to the right. Click the “Text size” pop-up menu, then choose a text size.
  • Increase the size of icons and text in the Finder: Select an item in the Finder, then choose View > Show View Options. The view you’re using determines how you increase the size.
    • Icon view: Move the “Icon size” slider to the right. Click the “Text size” pop-up menu, then choose a text size.

"


Make it easier to see what’s on the screen of your Mac


Cheers.
