findermacos
I open My Documents in finder. Click CMD-J and change the font size to 10. I choose set as default. The font size looks right on My Documents.
Then I navigate to Applications, and the font size is 12.
Is there a way I can change my font size on all folders?
Thanks!
You should be able to do this by going to Mail Preferences > Fonts & Colors and selecting the following option:
What works for me (although some quirks remain) is this: in view options (CMD-J) set up your finder window exactly how you would like them all to be. Make sure to check "Always open in ... view" and "Browse in ... view". When you're happy, click "use as defaults". Then open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo find / -name .DS_Store -delete; killall Finder
(it prompts for password and generates some "no permission" errors. Could take a minute or two)
It removes all the .DS_Store files from your folders. These are hidden files that contain the view settings of a specific folder (you might have noticed them when opening a mac USB stick on a windows machine or whatever).
It's not perfect, right size is relative to your finder window size i believe, but it's much better than the frustrating craziness that comes from every folder having different settings...
CMD-J opens the view options. When in that window, Fn will change the "Use as Defaults" button to "Restore to defaults". That's pretty close to a shortcut, I'll do some digging to find out how to make it full circle...

How to do that? Via Onyx. You can also unhide all invisible files (
.DS_Storefiles are invisible) and delete them one by one.After that, you can "set default" in the root folder and it should be in all the folders below
