Dear all,

the hack above worked fine until the 11.2019 update, but now in theory it shouldn't be needed anymore and in any case it can't be applied in exactly the same way.
Let me explain: we have an Objects menu now: but changing both items per page or font size parameters doesn't have any effect on my Kobo Aura One...
There is also a (quite well hidden) Detailed list files per page setting and ... Eureka! It did it: decreasing its value you have bigger covers in list menu... but also font size changes accordingly (so you have giant size metadata...) and you have to hack again the listmenu.lua file.
In short, before I needed a single hack to get the result, now I have to change two parameters (and to find the right balance between them).
So, my question is: is it so difficult to have a simple setting to change cover size (or number of files per page if you prefer) without touching the default font size (like in several Linux file managers just to mention an example)?

Thanks in advance.
