Christian, thanks a thousand times for added the compact view to Nautilus. I’ve also wanted this for years. You rock.

You just have to find somebody who ports back a few trunk patch sets. However, there is still a bug that has been around for ages which sometimes locks up the icon container when resizing in a specific manner. It just seems to affect text-besides-icon, so it wasn’t really noticed before.

So is it possible to get an Ubuntu Hardy .deb with this working?
I’m not looking forward to not having this feature for the coming 6 months…

YES!!!

Now, if that were paired with a preference to NOT remember each folder’s view settings - just like on Windows - then Nautilus would become, to me, without fault.

That and it’s a bit odd that the view selector is on the address lane, and not the toolbar, but hey, it works.

And I did try to do those things myself, but my C is so-so, and GTK+ code is… daunting?

I just modified the behavior. You will see half the vertical space between icons (compared to the screenshot), and we will not request padding space below each column.

No, they are executed in other threads, you should not notice any freezes.
