# Display larger thumbnails?

 * Is there any way to increase the size of the thumbnails in the MLA list without
   increasing the entire display? I can read the text just fine, but I can’t tell
   which image exactly I’m trying to write ALT text for.
 * It’s all wedding flowers at the super-tiny size, but I would like to be able 
   to tell which bouquet is the bride’s and which is the flower girl’s. Can’t do
   that with my eyes, at this thumbnail size.
 * thx

 * Thanks for this question/suggestion. I regret that there is no MLA or WordPress
   option you can access to change the icon size.
 * You can always click the icon or use the Edit rollover action to get to the Media/
   Edit Media screen, which shows a much larger version of the image, but I know
   you have a strong preference for using the Quick Edit area to make these changes.
 * By making changes to the MLA CSS style sheet I was able to increase the icon 
   size to 128/128. If you want to modify the /wp-content/plugins/media-library-
   assistant/css/mla-style.css file, look for:
 *     ```
       /*
        * MLA List Table ID_parent column
        */
       img.mla_media_thumbnail_64_64 {
       	max-width: 64px;
       	max-height: 64px;
       }
       ```
   
 * and replace it with:
 *     ```
       /*
        * MLA List Table icon column
        */
       #icon.column-icon {
       	width: 128px;
       	max-width: 128px;
       	height: 128px;
       	max-height: 128px;
       }
   
       /*
        * MLA List Table icon column
        */
       img.mla_media_thumbnail_64_64 {
       	width: 128px;
       	max-width: 128px;
       	height: 128px;
       	max-height: 128px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can use 128 or any dimensions you want to get a comfortable size.
 * If you make these modifications, remember they will have to be re-applied when
   a new MLA version comes out. I will consider an enhancement to adjust the size
   with an options setting in a future release.
 * I am going to mark this issue resolved, but please let me know if you have any
   problems with the suggested fix or any further questions.

 * This helps. TY.
 * (The only part of your plug in that I understand is the quick edit, and that’s
   the only functionality I wanted. I’m uploading 100 photos / month on more than
   one WP site. Something goes wrong when I open more than five images at a time
   in full edit–system hangs and I have to restart the browser. So quick edit is
   a life-saver.)

 * GReat! I tested it on [http://www.hoteintransylvania.com](http://www.hoteintransylvania.com)
   and it work very well, thanks! wp 3.8.1 and Media Library Assistant 1.70.

 * Thanks for the feedback and the link to your site. The URL you gave didn’t work,
   but I guessed [http://www.hotelintransylvania.com/](http://www.hotelintransylvania.com/)
   and got to it; I hope I guessed correctly.
 * Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

 * That change is for the admin part, not for the public side.

 * Yes, that’s right. Is that what you need or do you need help changing the size
   of images displayed in an `[mla_gallery]` shortcode?

 * I’m not using [mla_gallery], that code is changing size of thumbnails here: yourwebsite:/
   wp-admin/upload.php?page=mla-menu

 * Yes, that’s what “karentiede” asked for in her initial post to this topic. She
   wanted to enlarge the thumbnails column of the Media/Assistant submenu table.
   The CSS style changes in my response do that for her. They are optional, of course.
 * Are you just confirming that the change works, or do you have a problem or further
   question?

 * Hi,
 * I’m just learning my way around your plugin but finding it very useful and am
   grateful for the work you’ve put in.
 * I just wanted to echo Karen’s request: having the option to set the thumbnail
   view in the admin screen would be very very helpful to me as well — most of my
   editing is done in the “quick edit” view.
 * Thank you!
