Photoshop cc open screen thumbnails so small!

[sallyp53570886]

I've just upgraded to Photoshop cc and I can't increase the size of the open screen thumbnails.  Before I used to increase the size in finder and then it would work, but not this time.  Can anyone help?  They're so tiny!!!!

Hi sallyp,

It seems more to be related to Windows functionality as the PSD thumbnails outside Photoshop resize/view as per the OS.

Thanks,

I use a Mac...hearing from others that this is also a problem with them..

I use this app and it works great for viewing thumbnails in a larger size.

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

But I'm using photoshop on a Mac and want to see the thumbnails larger in the open screen in Photoshop. ..

Run /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'set FK_StandardViewSettings:IconViewSettings:iconSize 48' ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist where 48 is the new icon size, and restart to apply the changes. Just logging out and back in does not seem to apply the changes. The FK_StandardViewSettings settings are used by FinderKit and file dialogs. They are not changed when you press the "Use as Defaults" button from Finder's view options. If you run the command on a new installation and there is an error like Set: Entry, "FK_StandardViewSettings:IconViewSettings:iconSize", Does Not Exist, open a file dialog once in some application first.

Is this command supposed to be entered in Terminal.app? I can't see a Run command.

There's a different incantation for Yosemite and El Capitan, but seems to not work in Sierra.

From

macos - How can I increase the size of thumbnails when opening files? - Super User

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'set FK_DefaultIconViewSettings:iconSize 192' ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

As a workaround Spacebar can Quicklook the icon and you  can use the cursor keys to move from file to file in the dialog in Quicklook mode.

But somehow Sierra inherited my El Cap icon settings.
