Quite often when browsing pictures (atleast me). When increasing icon
size is that easy, Thunar can work as kind of image browser making user
find the image he's looking for much easier.

I thought about this also, showing e.g. filesize with lighter colour and
smaller font underneath would be a nice addition in this view mode (now
it just moves the text).

One tiny issue that I noticed: filesize shown in status pane is using
"K" instead of "k" when size is shown in kilobytes. Megs (M) and gigs
(G) are shown with correct capitalisation.
