Thumbnail Sizing

[TimothyFS]

When I open a folder, and Select VEIW, I can choose Icons, Lists, Column's or Gallery. Is there a way to change the size of the thumbnail like you can on a windows platform. The current thumbnail Icon's are a little small for these old eyes..

Thanks In Advance

Sometimes what's possible can depend on the macOS version you're using (things sometimes change or are removed by Apple).

From what's been mentioned above...you're actually almost there (if still available with the macOS version you're using).

You need to choose the "Icon" option when working within the folder:



Then from the "View" menu...choose "Show View Options" (which you've done already). When this is done...this is what you see:



If you choose any of the other options (within the Folder window)...show by List, Columns, Cover Flow...you don't get this "Icon Size" option within the "Show View Options" window.

HTH,

In my Ventura system as soon as I select the icon view a slider shows at the bottom right of the Finder window that allows me to adjust the size of the icons:

And if they still keep getting too small for those old eyes of yours like they do for some of us, you can change your Display System Preference pane resolution settings to a lower value using the scaled option so everything then appears larger.
