Change size of open file dialog box/screen?

At some point I accidentally maximized my open file dialog box, and now I'm unable to make is smaller.  Mouse changes to arrows on the edges, but I cannot make the window smaller.

 

Just annoying, but not a bug. Or is this a windows issue?

I managed to solve it.

From another post, I renamed this UXP folder - https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/no-welcome-screen-new-file-screen/td-p/9854370

 

Then when I selected Open File, I selected Hide Folders at bottom left, then Show Folders. My windows was back to a resizable window.

I have this same problem with the window (process multiple files) being bigger than the screen. My Mac Mini thinks. Poorly. Anyway I followed this obscure rabbit hole down to a black home screen issue and didn't see an answer. You changed the name of UXP to ~UXP (mine was empty but whatever I renamed it) then clicked out of that screen. Then in PS selected File? then Open? and in that dialog box clicked Hide Options (mine doesn't say folders) then Show...THEN WHAT?

Which macOS are you running?

 

What is the resolution of your screen?
