Finder: automatically disable icon preview for icon sizes below a certain size

Submitted by mojo2012 on July 7, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

I like to have 16x16 icons for certain folders with many content. The problem is, that document files, eg. txt, pdf, doc, etc., have a preview, others, like dmg don't have previews. This makes some files/filetypes unrecognizable.

It would be better, if the preview would be AUTOMATICALLY disabled for small icon sizes. So, If I change from icon view to list view (very small icons) the preview should be disabled automatically.


And yes, I know, that I can disable it manually. And no, I don't want to use bigger icons in some circumstances.
