Here is a script that is easier for “grandma” to use:
zoom - Script to set Nautilus Thumbnail size
#!/bin/bash
# NAME: zoom
# DESC: Change nautilus thumbnail size based on parameter 1
# For Ask Ubuntu question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1097934
# /nautilus-show-images-with-more-than-200-size
# DATE: December 7, 2018
if [[ $# -ne 1 ]]; then
echo "Usage: 'zoom 999'"
echo "Where 999 is zoom factor, eg 400 = 400% zoom"
exit 1
fi
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view thumbnail-size "$1"
nautilus -q
exit 0
Installation and Usage
Place the file zoom in your search path.
Mark the file executable with chmod a+x /search-path-name/zoom
Call the script from terminal using zoom 999 where 999 is the zoom factor. For example zoom 400 will have nautilus zoom by 400%.
The script can be enhanced to use zenity for a desktop shortcut with GUI pop up window that prompts for zoom percentage.
