Display Icon File Size

Guys and Girls,

Easy one? How can I get my new Mini to display the Icon file size like my old iMac did?

Like this:

Sonoma 14.3.1, Studio 27. monitor

Thanks, Phil

iMac 27″, macOS 14.2

Glad it helped. Obviously I slightly mis-read your question.

I don't have the file sizes displayed as it tends to clutter the desktop.

If I want to know the size or any other details of a file or folder I simply right click on it and select "Get Info" from the contextual menu.

Can't you simply click on the desktop to activate Finder and go to View>Show View Options whereupon you should be able to drag the Icon size slider to get the image you want?

Ian,

Yes, you can and that's exactly what I was looking for. Although I wasn't looking to change the size but I have checked the "Show item info" to get the info I wanted.

Thanks, Phil

I love this forum.
