Thank you for your promptness and for your reply.
Alas, this video does not show - how to make possible to
reduce the size of thumbnails. I mean how to make thumbnails smaller than 'Small'
In the 2018 edition, there is no need to set size to "Tiny" and have thumbnails so small that you can't really see them. With the expand button (arrow button) to expand the thumbnail area, you can get 6 thumbs across and you can see 24 thumbnails on a typical 1920x1080 screen; more at higher resolutions. On my wide format monitor, I get 9 across and can see 36 thumbs at the "Small" size.
Based on the feedback I have gotten on QU 2018, I suspect you are going to be very lonely in your preference for the pre-2018 layout.
The 2018 edition just makes much better use of space and controls:
- Live view is always visible: in 2017 it would disappear when you clicked Printers/Settings
- Print sizes don't obscure other controls: in all prior versions, you had to continually click the print properties buttons and then close the sizes to get them out of the way
- Thumb size setting is a real size: in prior versions, setting thumb size just changed the number of columns (thumbs across) and thumbs still changed size depending on screen size/setup
Also, page orientation is duplicated for a reason. It is on the "Printers and Settings" tab because it is an attribute of the printer/driver settings. And it's also under the Live View as a speed button so that you can change page orientation without having to switch back to the "Printers and Settings" tab: you might be on the "Prints" tab and want to quickly rotate your page. Having a dropdown setting duplicated in another area via a speed button is pretty typical (standard) UI behavior.
As to the queue, that is a diagnostic tab that has been made nearly useless with updates in recent years. For the small minority of "filename driven" users, they can still go there, scroll the queue left/right and up/down to see filenames if they like. But the UI design will never be dictated by the queue since you can get literally all of the information in the queue via hovering over prints on the live view.

Mike
