So when in finder, a folder of pictures with Icon display mode, when resizing the icons with the slider.. the horizontal scrollbar shows up. How to make it so that icons automatically dont go over the width of the window and just makes the vertical scroll bar longer as opposed to creating the horizontal scrollbar?
Got a tip for us?

I think the key is the Arrange By selection in Show View Options. When set to anything except None or Snap to Grid, the "field" of icons should expand one row at a time until you reach the limitation of your screen size. There should not be a horizontal scroll bar, just a vertical one.
A bit in late, but I found that if you set (under "show view option" popup) "label position" on "Bottom" the trick is done. If I set it to "right" it automatically set horizontal scrollbar in the finder window, otherwise it is normally on the window side.
