In Snow Leopard, I can resize the icons by pinch zoom or drag the slider on lower right. In Lion, this no longer work.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
Are you saying that nothing happens if you drag the slider, or that the slider is not there? If the later, try: ⌘/
Yea, see above, the slider is on the Status Bar.
I got it now. The status bar was hidden by default. I just need to turn it on and the slider works.
Pinch doesn't work anymore.
That all seems quite contradictory - I thought gestures were a core feature of Lion and yet they've turned this one off! (The pinch in icon view).
Instead you have to enable the bar at the bottom thus creating more screen bumph which they are trying to get rid of. Would like to hear Apple's reasoning behind this one…

Yep, the status bar really waste alot of space. I prefer to hide it and use pinch zoom.

Me too. There much be some reasoning behind this.
😠😟
Dragging the slider sometime doens't do anything. I have to close the finder window, re-open to make to work.
Hi,
Did you try to double CLICK with the mouse one the the || on the bottom of the window ... the Finder will expand until everything in that window will be readdable.

Sorry, don't understand. Can you explain again?
In addition, and perhaps better, you can set the View Options under the View Menu (shortcut = Command + J) while focused on the Finder and the Folder/Directory that you what to adjust.
That brings up a contextual dialog like this:
Hope that helped!
Thanks for this info. "Use as Defaults" is great! This save me from having to adjust icon size everytime I go to a new directory.
But I think it's a bug that the zoom slider sometime doesn't work...and getting pinch zoom from Snow Leopard back would be nice.
Matthew, I suggest you pass along your request to Apple's feedback so that they can take a look at your thoughts. Lion is still new and there might be something that they intended to bring forward and just haven't gotten to it yet. I find the gestures extremely useful but not 100% predictable in performance. Overall, I see where all the Apple products are headed and I like it.

HI,
Sorry, I misunderstand the question ... I whas thinking about Colom View.

I am also having this issue. Sometimes when switching to icon view, the resize slider doesn't do anything at all.

I found that if the resize slider doesn't work, by switching to another view like the cover flow view, the switch back to icon view, the resize slide is "alive" again.
Set 'item arrangement' to none, seems to be a bug if this is set to name (for example)
Lion Finder icon view: how to resize icons?
