You're comment about "a different file explorer" made       me just open       nemo and view 'icon view' and scale the icons larger. That's about as good       as I wanted.       I can browse around and see what's there.              I have some 1,100+ fonts (files actually) in that folder. Some are zips so       the count       could be higher. I didn't think it was that high but....              I just wanted to see what was in there. Idle time on my hands.       Thanks Dan              --       Linux Mint 22.1, Thunderbird 128.13.0esr, Mozilla Firefox 141.0        Alan K.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
