Regression(?): recent update appears to have removed the only icon view zoom level that I found workable
This is kind of messing with me and maybe I'm imagining it (pretty sure I'm not, though), but the icon view with a recent update during the Fedora version switch of Nautilus suddenly seems to lack any whatsoever usable zoom level for me.
Like, the larger level bordering what I'm looking for, which is the 2nd-smallest-one, has nice and huge thumbnails but barely manages to fit three rows on my laptop screen and I end up scrolling forever in any folder with more than like 10 files. But the smaller one which is the smallest one now, has icons so small I can e.g. for my music barely see anything of the album cover and would need a magnifier lens to make out anything, really. What I find most baffling is why this was changed at all if this is not just me being confused: did anyone really think the additional in-between usable zoom level was too confusing, or why did it need to be removed? And I'm not sure how I can work around having the choice between I can't browse any larger folder at all or all thumbnails are uselessly tiny, it feels like a dealbreaker for the symbol view to be honest.
The nemo file manager has a usable icon size so it clearly is still possible (and used to be in nautilus, I think??).
Affected version
- Nightly flatpak: Yes
- Other: GNOME nautilus 43.1 and Fedora 37 (was fine with Fedora 36)
Use cases
Browse folders without a huge magnifier glass next to me or otherwise breaking off my finger on the scroll wheel
Available features and workarounds
I don't really manage well with this change at all, I have to admit. Probably going to be forced to entirely ditch Nautilus, it's not good
