  Thank you so much for upgrading this app for mac users. Is there any way to increase the size of the text in the file windows? I really have to strain to see the file names, etc.

  Hi,

  There isn't currently a way to adjust the file list font size. I hope to restore that feature in a future update.

  Thanks,

  I would also second this feature!! The font size of the transfer window is really small on my monitor. Is there a hack I can do until the update...like change the Mac's default font size for Fetch?

  I third the motion for increased font size. I already have my monitor set to a higher font so I don't want to increase that again just to increase Fetch.

  Thank you for being my favorite go-to file transfer! Drives my dogs nuts when they hear the "bark" lol!

  jim and team -

  you MUST provide font size viewing options. i just upgraded to 5.8 and the font size has shrunk by 50%. it is impossible to read on my MacBook pro or 27" thunderbolt monitor.

  given the push for ADA compliance and a huge older user demographic, i'm begging you: please. soon. please. really.

  thx, bruce

  Hi Bruce,

  Thanks for that feedback. Restoring the Find command is my top priority, but after that I hope to address the font size issue.

  Thanks,

  Hi,

  I'm working on Fetch 5.8.1, which will let you adjust the transfer window font size. You can download a beta test release here:

  Please let me know how it goes.

  Thanks,

  I used it today and really, really like the dark mode and the increased font size; Thanks for fixing it!

  +1 for making “the ability to change font sizes” apply to View As Text; currently I have to Edit With BBEdit instead. (A separate View With… would mitigate the pain.)

  Failing (for now at least) the ability to _change_ the font size in View As Text, could you at least make available a build in which the hard-coded size is readably large?

  you say "i have to edit with bbedit" as if it's a bad thing. the integration between fetch and bbedit makes it effortless for me, and i'm in bbedit all day long every day.

  having the ability to command- and command+ font sizes in the main fetch window allowed me to keep using the app.

  Only when I want only to _view_ a file. I agree on BBEdit’s magnificence, and indeed often use its [S]FTP browser instead of Fetch.
