Also, I'm not sure if the preview scale option is required at all, and not sure if the preview size should be accessible at all times. What I've seen for GIMP's resource dialogs (brushes, gradients etc.) is that people pick one preview size and use it all the time, and often don;t even touch this preference at all. But should that want to do it, there is a dialog's menu for that.
The first two sets of symbols I looked at had symbol widths of 6000 px and 3 px so without a preview size option they wouldn't have been viewable.
Wait, why not scale each item individually to fit a cell?
That is the default... but I personally want to see the symbols all at the same scale which doesn't work if you scale to fit.
Same here: the first steps I did after compiling the initial commit was exploring which options to use to have the previews rendered at the same scale for all symbols (to see how they relate to each other).
Having quick access to the view options seems part of the basic usage to me: AFAICT a preferred current view mode will also depend on the kind of symbols available in the currently selected symbol file (or the current document).
