Hi Susan, 1. Open preferences with ctrl+p.
2. Arrow to Media Library. 3. Tab to Modify Preferences and press space. 4. You should be in a field with the title Limit number of listings fetched. 5. Add a couple of zeroes, making it 50000. HTH.

The closest item is something about not loading the database at startup, which of course is unchecked. There's also an item referring to resizing columns, but that seems to have to do with the appearance of the display. again, not sure what I'm missing, i can't seem to get to anything other than the display or advanced options dialogs.
