  Then you make it impossible (ultimately, not with this patch though) to for instance browse through folders with small icons (say icon sets).
  That cannot possibly be desired...
  
  What file browser should people then use to view small icons?
  Or should they just never do that and be forced to use gwenview (or some alternative)?
