Zoom file selector thumbnails
Hi all, I need to solve a problem that is a bit annoying. I am on ubuntu 22.04 and using SNAP Firefox 127.0 (64-bit).
When I am prompted to select a file, for example to upload an image, the file picker is shown. However the thumbnails are so small(and right now I only see the image name) that I cannot see what's the content of the image. I managed to show a preview on the right of the single selected image by modifying an option in about:config. However it is still a pain to find the image I am searching for when I have a long list of images. Is there any way to enable zoom on the list of thumbnails so that I can preview the contents of the images? I don't understand why there is no option to customize the display of the file list. In the attached image I show how it looks right now.
Thank you

Not a browser issue, more of a desktop. Someone on KDE forum had the same issue. Let me go find it. What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?
Not a zoom fan, steps to replicate the issue would be helpful.

Not sure what you mean but for example, if you go on tinyeye com and try to upload an image, I get the file picker I attached in my OP. Either ctrl, alt or shift with + or - do not have any effect. The thumbnails keep staying very small and there is literally no option to customize the list display. Very very basic file picker.
I checked the link, unfortunately changing widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 1 or 2 did not sort any effect. And the packages xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-kde are installed.
I checked on Chrome and there is the same problem so I guess it's ubuntu related rather than firefox.
