  I initially said nothing about PNG. You assumed SVG so i explicitly said PNG, but it's any non-raster format. Don't make this format specific.

For the second point, we brought an example where this is already the case, with no confused users hunting us on Bugzilla. Various other questions also turned out to be non-issues (e.g. HiDPI support, remembering the user-set value etc.).
  
  And i have to admit that i was testing the wrong thing.
  If i take a grid view (in dolphin) and do that on a folder with lots of small icons i see them being resized.
  Apparently the behavior in the file open dialog is different in this regard.
  So i guess i'm 50% wrong there ;)

  I know and i thank you (and the rest) for the constructive discussion!

Your comments were really helpful in making us reflect even more use cases and situations, but in the end it turned out the patch should be able to handle all that just fine. Please let us know how to go forward from here.

  Please let me stress that i'm very much **in favor** of having this! No mistake about that.
  I'm just quite firmly against a "in your face" icon changing state "automagically". If i press "show previews" then i expect them to be shown, however small they are. It's a choice i made and apparently want to have, A 3-state button is imho still the way to go. It could for instance be a button with a diagonal line in it where half of the button is disabled and the other half is enabled. Quite graphically showing that "both" states are active (the auto state, the view knows best).
  
  Anyhow, i don't think we're going to agree on this. That's fine :)
  You folks have the vision and you've been doing a great job thus far so i ultimately have no reason to stop you from making progress, even if i don't like it.
  I will resign from this review in a few days to let it progress to wherever it wants to go.
