 Currently it’s not possible to set the default size in the Gallery Sizes
 pulldown when adding a gallery—it’s always `thumbnail`.

 [[Size pulldown(http://oli.jp/temp/2016-01-29-wp4.4-gallery-size-
 setting.png)]]

 For example, this code will set `columns` but not `size`
 {{{
 function my_gallery_defaults( $settings ) {
     $settings['galleryDefaults']['columns'] = 2;
     $settings['galleryDefaults']['size'] = 'medium';
     return $settings;
 }

 add_filter( 'media_view_settings', 'my_gallery_defaults' );
 }}}

 This has been mentioned in previous tickets:

 - #18143 Adds Sizes pulldown to UI (but no
 `$settings['galleryDefaults']['size']`)
 - #27515 Request for `$settings['galleryDefaults']['size']` but marked as
 dupe of #18143
 - #28693 Adds `$settings['galleryDefaults']` support for `columns` and
 `link`
 - #29032 Request for setting a custom default gallery size but marked as
 dupe of #18143

 While this can be overridden via the UI, it would be nice to set the
 initial Gallery default size for a theme.
