Hi,

in dired I can use 'New Frame' (C-x 5 2) to display a previously 
selected file in a new, bigger frame.

Looking through the customization options for dired I did not find a 
solution for the following question:

Which option do I have to change to alter the dimensions of this new frame?

I am using Emacs 26.1 under Debian Buster.

C-h k C-x 5 2

C-h f make-frame-command RET

TAB (or `forward-button')

RET (or `push-button')

You are now in /usr/local/share/emacs/28.0.50/lisp/frame.el.gz
line 785 and see

  (if (display-graphic-p)
      (make-frame)
    (select-frame (make-frame)) )

so if you are in X that's `make-frame' for you...

C-h f make-frame RET

  (make-frame &optional PARAMETERS)

  [...] Each element of PARAMETERS should have the form
  (NAME . VALUE), for example [...]

  (width . NUMBER)  The frame should be NUMBER characters in width.
  (height . NUMBER) The frame should be NUMBER text lines high.

Dired does not have any settings that control
frame size.

The characteristics of the frame you get when
you use `C-x 5 2' are those defined by option
`default-frame-alist'.

However, if you want to _clone_ the selected
frame, that is, copy it as a new frame with the
same characteristics as the current frame, then
you can use command `clone-frame' from library
`frame-cmds.el'.  I bind that to `C-x 5 2'
instead of the default binding, which is to
command `make-frame-command'.

Hi,

  thank you very much for your help.

I will try to implement your suggestions and will cry for help in case I 
goofed up my system.
