When I drag a folder onto the panel and choose "folder view" the content of the folder becomes a list with very tiny icons. It doesn't seem to be possible to adjust the size of the icons anymoreas it was in the preview Plasma version 5.3. The list is great (I was so happy that it was made possible again) - but please can you re-add the option to adjust the size of the icons? As it is now the folder view in the panel alas is nearly not usable for people with not so good eyesight or a higher display resolution :(. Reproducible: Always
The icons should be the same size as e.g. Application Menu and other panel popup window list items. If you use a high-resolution display Plasma should be automatically scaled by 2x to account for it. This is broken on some distributions though. Let's find out. Please provide: * The physical size of your monitor * Your screen res * A screenshot
Created attachment 97330 [details] Screenshot of Plasma 5.3 The screen resolution is 1280x1024 with a 19" monitor. The folder view in the panel has no list option but offers to adjust the icons to the user's preferred size.
Created attachment 97331 [details] Screenshot of Plasma 5.4.3 with folder view in panel Screenresolution is 1280x1024, tested with 17" and 19" monitor. The folder view in the panel is now in list view with tiny icons and doesn't offer any way to adjust the icon size or switch to the icon view. I'd like to have icons in size 32 minimum, better 48 for those lists. My "small icons" are set to 32 and my distribution is siduction (Debian Sid). This should be adjustable by the user and independent from resolution and screen size as plasma can neither determine the eyesight and preferences of the user nor the usecase. Maybe I want huge icons in one folder view and smaller icons in another? Depending on the use case: menu (medium icon size 32-48) or selection of specific files in a folder (small to medium icon size = 22-48) or selection of certain file types e.g. images - huge icons in 128)? And maybe another user on the same system with the same display resolution has a better eyesight and different preferences and wants those tiny 16 icons...
Thanks.
Git commit 28aae4bc188c8c89dbb00cf060aa34472787355c by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 26/02/2016 at 15:19. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. [FolderView] Allow chosing list or icon view in popup While I really like the list view for the popup, there might be cases where you prefer to see larger thumbnails. This patch allows to choose between the default list view and the icon view mode with cascading popups identical to what you get on the desktop.

So this also allows to have bigger icons in the list view than 16x16?
No, it allows switching to icon view mode. I brought up your point in the review but it wasn't addressed by this patch yet.
Ok, so shall I open a new report on this issue? This report in the first place was about a possibility to adjust the icon size in list view. It is good to have the icon view back, thanks for giving the user this alternative for different usecases - or in some cases at least a workaround as with those tiny fixed icons the long awaited list view alas is not usable for me and I guess also not for other non-eagleeyed people.
