Description

I use a retina display and the preview window of nemo-preview seems too small for me.

/usr/share/nemo-preview/js/ui/mainWindow.js

has a section on window scale factor I think, but I don't know how to increase it:
GLib.setenv("CLUTTER_SCALE", Math.max(s, 1).toString(), true);

Thank you wise people!

Research direction

Start with /usr/share/nemo-preview/js/ui/mainWindow.js and inspect the window scale factor section around GLib.setenv("CLUTTER_SCALE", ...). Determine how nemo-preview's window size is calculated on retina displays. Done means the preview window can be made larger without breaking normal display scaling.
