Files 3.3 is out with reworked layout selector, better DPI support, and more

The Files app has been updated to version 3.3, just one month after its last release. Version 3.3 is now available for download with two main changes: a reworked layout slider and thumbnail improvements, including better DPI support. In addition, the update contains multiple fixes for other parts of the application.

What is new in Files 3.3?

• Redesigned layout picker. The new layout picker now features a single row of larger buttons with the current option highlighted. There is also a new slider that lets you manually tweak the item sizes for different views, such as List, Grid, Columns, etc.

• 

   

• Thumbnail improvements. Users should now encounter fewer issues with thumbnails. In addition, the app now displays a neat animation when thumbnail loading takes longer. Finally, icons on the home page, tabs, and sidebar received proper DPI support.
• New layout settings. The settings page now features a dedicated page for layout options. Previously, those options were located in the Folders page.

• 

   

• Continue where you left off. This feature now works when you restart Windows. Previously, it only worked if you closed the app before restarting the system.
