@ferrariofilippo can you look this over? I want to get it merged before #10117. This requires some stress testing, try to break it 🙂

I tried everything I thought of, and it seems the only bug is the one we already know.

I think the user should be able to decide even among grid layout sizes.
At the moment this feature uses the last size selected by the user when ForceOnAllDirectories is enabled.
If you want to reproduce:

• Reset preferences
• Enable ForceOnAllDirectories
• Set grid layout size
• Disable ForceOnAllDirectories
• Change DefaultLayout to Grid

I think this should be changed because a user would need to do all the above only to change the default items' size for the grid layout.

There are a range of sizes for the grid layouts, perhaps we can support a couple presets in the drop down (small, medium, large). I'm not sure how to do that right now as we don't have enums for those.

I think that's enough.

Merged this as is so that we can merge the default column options, should be okay if we add the options later on.

[ferrariofilippo]

Yes, after all it's working with no bugs.
Choosing the size of GridView is a feature we can add later

Note that this prevents adaptive layout mode from working because folderSettings.LayoutMode is never set to Adaptive. Even in adaptive mode folderSettings.LayoutMode is still either details or grid or tiles. The above check for IsAdaptiveLayoutEnabled is what we want.
