Font not big enough

[The Electro Machine]

Is there a way to increase font size of listed files and folders?

[xnview]

Settings>Thumbnail>Appearance

[The Electro Machine]

Settings>Thumbnail>Appearance

You mean:

Tools > Settings > Thumbnail > Appearance > Label Alligment
Tools > Settings > Browser > Thumbnail > Appearance > Label Alignment

?

If yes: then I have changed the font, clicked OK and re-opened the program - but I see no change

[cday]

Tools > Settings... > Appearance > Thumbnail -- Custom thumbnail size ?

[xnview]

yes in Tools>Settings>Thumbnail>Appearance , you change the font & font size

[cday]

yes in Tools>Settings>Thumbnail>Appearance , you change the font & font size

Right, clicking on the displayed font opens a menu that enables both the font and the font size to be set...

@user0 Does that meet your user interface design standards?

Wouldn't labelling that button Font be better? Or even better, separate Font and Size displays on the Appearance tab?

well, I would

• as minimum
  - group label stuff
  - add 'Font' label
  - change font selection button to display font name only without size, style and effect as it cause some unpleasant UI behaviour
  (do it for all Font buttons in Settings)

• as maximum
  - rearrange elements a little bit on Appearance tab
  - maybe change group naming from 'Thumbnail cell' to 'Thumbnail card'

Or even better, separate Font and Size displays on the Appearance tab?

I doubt separating font name and size would be good approach here, as these settings are not that important and you do not change them that often.
Also, in case of showing font name and size separately I would expect to have style (regular/bold/etc) and effect (strikeout,underline) controls to be present as well, which overwhelm UI too much.

Renaming the existing [Selected font name] button to Font would seem a simple start...

That would open the existing font menu with the typeface, size and style options, and should avoid the issue that the OP encountered.

Despite switching from using installed version 1.0.1 to portable 1.4.3 my choices for font are still being ignored

[xnview]

Other changes in settings are kept between instance?

[The Electro Machine]

Yes

Also in version 1.0.1. And so as my font choice have been ignored it was my reasoning for investing time and energy in downloading 1.4.3

But the update have not fixed the issue

[xnview]

please send me a screenshot of font dialog? and of browser thumbnail?

[The Electro Machine]

As you can see, chosen font is only applied to its button




And also:

Tools > Settings > Browser > Thumbnail > Appearance > Label Alignment > Font style

uses wrong language, as it is not English - i.e. the language I have chosen for my Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042 x64 and for my XnView. That other one I have only under the

Menu Start > Settings > Time & Language > Preferred Language

of Windows set as a second keyboard of OS

'Appearance' change font for Thumbnails mode not details

[The Electro Machine]

What? Where?
