Description Attila 2025-03-28 10:27:36 UTC 
The icon size in the "Folder panel" ist set to 16px by default. This is very small for some users.
All other icon sizes are costumizable. For example: the icon size can be changed in the "Places panel" by right click on "Places panel" -> "Icon size". It would be great if the size of the icons could be changed again, because as far as I can remember, this was possible in earlier versions of Dolphin.

It does seem inconsistent that
- With panels locked: Right clicking on the Places heading allows you to change the icon size, but there is no heading on the Folders section, and no way to change the icon size or any other setting for it
- The folders pane doesn't show a header when panels are locked, but does when they are unlocked
- The icon size in Places can only be changed if panels are locked, there's no other spot to access this setting that I could find. It isn't under Dolphin Settings - Interface - Panels

Thank you for your analysis and understanding.

Does this mean that there is hope of being able to change the size of the icon in the near future?

When and if this is implemented depends on the Dolphin maintainers. If they have the time and will, they will implement this.
