This workaround is good enough, and should not prevent us from improving the handling for all other situations. Let's be honest here: How often do you want to select icons with <38px size, but cannot increase the size temporarily?
  
  
  I think you mis-interpreted what i said which then caused @ngraham to reply with apparently that in mind which is also not as i intended :)
  
  I intended specifically what i said.
  **browse** a folder with lots of icons **like** an icon pack/theme. And yes, that is - sometimes - very handy to have!
  I said nothing about the view mode (i meant the grid view though, not the list view).
  
  In those cases where you just browse through a gazillion icons (nothing with an icon picker or selecting icons, i didn't say any of that) becomes impossible in your future patch.
  This patch makes it slightly more "inconvenient" to browse folders like that.
  
  As for SVG.. Not my words. png, jpg, any format really.
