Icon size in finder is to inconvenient

There used to be a slider allowing you to make the icons large enough and the pinch gesture does not work either.
i just think going trough Finder/show view options/icon size. Takes to long and its something i really used.
Is there a setting or something i could do to make the pinch gesture to work on them?

Finder/View/Show Status Bar will bring up slider in Finder windows.

  • Icon size in Finder window

    This has gotta be an FAQ, but I can't find it. How does one change the size of icons that appear both in the Sidebar of Finder windows, and in the main part of Finder windows? I found how to change icon size for Desktop icons, but I want to change the size of icons within Finder windows.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    thanks for the star too!
    I'm afraid I don't understand what didn't work... Mmmm...
    What I tested on my own computer (I also run 10.4.8) was that
    1/ I opened my home folder
    2/ my files are in "Icon view"
    3/ I went to the pull down menu at the top of the computer and chose View
    4/ I selected Show View Options (or Apple + J)
    5/ A window opened that allowed me to change the size of the icons in that window and also gave the possibility to change the size in all windows.
    I'm sorry if I was not clear before.
    Francine gave you the best option anyway. Thanks again!

  • Increasing icon size in finder window

    In Snow Leopard I was able to increase the size of icons in any finder window by pinching out. I seem to have lost that ability after upgrading to Lion. This was a great feature, especailly for folders with photos in them. Does anyone know how to bring this back?

  • Calendar in Yosemite does not comply to Sidebar icon size setting?

    The icon size and the font size in the sidebar of System apps can be set in
    System Prefs => General => Sidebar icon size
    The Finder of OS X 10.10 does react to this setting, Mail.app does and in Mavericks also Calendar.app did.
    On my MBP running Yosemite, Calendar v8.0 always shows quite large icons and a large font in the sidebar.
    Is this a problem of my installation, or is it "normal"?
    There are other problems of the Calendar sidebar, for example I am unable to enlarge the sidebar to show longer names of individual calendars.

    If you want the calendar entries that you create on the phone to sync with the gmail, you need to create the entry in the gmail calendar on the phone.  If you create it in the phone calendar, it is only on the phone.
    Usually at the very top of the new event entry you have a choice of which calendar to create this event in.  Either Phone, gmail or any other option you have synced to your phone.  To get it to sync to the gmail calendar you need to select the gmail calender.

  • Change icon size in Lion Finder

    In Lion, is there any way to increase the size of photos in the icon view in Finder?  There used to be a slider allowing you to make the icons large enough to guess what they might be.  I have not yet found any way to resize these icons--the pinch gesture does not work on them.

  • Automatically set finder icon size

    Hi,
    there is a apple script or something that can automaticcaly change icon size for folders and documents in finder? My target is to show the max number of icon inside the finder window...
    thanks

    ok, thanks, but is not what i want.
    Think if in osx is built in a function that for the number of icons inside the folder show in finder , automatically resize icons (with a min and a max size presetted) relative to the number of icons in that folder.
    Sometime i have one icon and the size is too small... sometime i have to many icons and the size is too large and i must scroll everytime.. is not very userfriendly...
    another question... is possible in launchpad have a spotlight textfield that allow me to write the name of the app i want to find?? sometime i have app inside folder or in another page and is not simple find immediatly the app iwant...
    thanks

  • Finder icon size

    I would like to set my finder's icon size to be a consistent size for all folders. I tried setting the desired size in a folder and then selecting "Use as defaults" but this does not seem to propagate the icon size change to all folders.
    What am I missing?

    clicking on "use as defaults" should have done it. if that does not work then either finder preferences are corrupt or .DS_store files in some folders are corrupt as macjack suggested. you seem to have tried resetting your finder preference already. i would try again. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist, control-option-click on finder in the Dock and choose "relaunch". if that does not help try zapping all .DS_Store files, not just one. This can be done using Onyx for example.

  • HT3390 OS X 10.9.2 how to use the Multi-Touch trackpad to adjust icon sizes in the Finder like previous OS?

    After I upgrade my OS X 10.6 to 10.9.2, I lost.
    Everyday I search the forum to look for the "feeling" of using Mac OS (migrate from windows to OS X10.6). The OS X 10.6 is just great.
    Now the questions, how to use the multi-touch trackpad to adjust icon size with simple pinch open or close gesture?
    Thank you.

    I might also add, you can run 10.6.8 Server in virtualization, if you need access to Rosetta applications:

  • How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

    I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode.  I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar.  I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine. 

    This did not help.  I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me.   I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window.  Thanks for trying. 

  • Keeping the Desired Size of Finder Windows

    I want to change the default size for any Finder window while in Cover Flow mode. I successfully set the Cover Flow mode, as well as a few other options about icon size, etc., to cover all new Finder windows. However, I do not see any way to maintain the size of the Finder window to keep me at the same default size. Is there any way I can set this?
    Thanks,

  • Change icon size in dock

    I upgraded to OS X 10.9 from Mountain Lion. The icons on my dock (which I have on the right hand side of my screen) all became smaller with the upgrade. When I move the slider bar in dock settings (in system preferences) from small to large the icons do not change size as they did in Mountain Lion. Is this a bug in Mavericks or do I need to do something besides moving the slider bar from small to large? Thanks.

  • Icon size in Mountain Lion

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and it's great, but I used to be able to change the size of icons just by pinching on the trackpad and whatever the opposite of pinching is. I know I can't "right click" and bring up "View Options" and change it that way, but that's not nearly as convenient for as often as I use this tiny feature. It sounds silly, but I got really used to it for what I do for work and it's been annoying not being able to figure it out. Thanks for your help!

    I guess you mean icons in the Finder icon view? If so, I know what you mean.  That was a pretty cool feature. 
    I believe the only other thing you can do now is to enable the status bar (command /, or from the View menu), and use the little slider that is there.
