What?
Part of #73085
Reduce the default grid preview size of the experimental media modal's grid layout.
Why?
Raised in testing feedback in #73085, that the default size we were going with was a little too large for browsing lots of media all at once. If we make it slightly smaller, more results can fit in a view at one time. It's still possible for users to adjust the preview size in the settings dropdown, of course.
Note: this is just a quick PR, it doesn't address the gap between items which was also raised as feedback in testing. That's a separate matter to look into in DataViews.
How?
Add a default preview size of 170, to match the second stop of the view config settings. (it matches the hard-coded value defined here in dataviews layouts):
gutenberg/packages/dataviews/src/components/dataviews-layouts/grid/preview-size-picker.tsx
Lines 19 to 22 in d2197b7
Testing Instructions
Enable the experimental media modal in the Gutenberg experiment settings:
Go to add a featured image to a post or page
Note that with this PR applied, there should be a slightly smaller preview size, but it should still be possible to adjust the size in the dropdown settings
