where is the "use compact layout" feature?

[Lucas Deters-2]

Hi all

First place, you have done a great job on Nautilus 3....

But I'm facing an issue: where is the "use compact layout" feature from the icon view? does it have been removed, and why?

Hi all,

Let me reformulate my question: there is some plan to re-implement the "tighter layout" option in nautilus? 

http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=1d3d4a1e954fcc15f2a9c7d933e7bc65c5330cc3

I really miss this option, and cant understand why it has been removed since it always worked with no issues to me... :/

Hi Lucas,

this option was removed from Nautilus 3.0 to reduce the number of very
similar ways in which icons can be arranged in an icon view;
note that Nautilus already has the Compact View, which is pretty similar
in functionality to the tighter layout option.

There are quite some bugs in Nautilus bugzilla with useful proposals on
a better algorithm for distributing padding and empty space around icons
in Icon View, and I think that's also something worth exploring in order
to have a better experience for everyone (i.e. not hidden behind a
"unbreak my icon view" obscure preference), but unfortunately there
haven't been enough manpower available to implement those proposals yet.

Hi, Cosimo, 

Thank you for your response... 

I always liked the layout tighter because it has the ergonomics of the "Icon View" compromised with an better use of space (It can show up to 100% more files than the "non-compact" option of icon view).. It would be great to get the "tighter layout" back to nautilus, perhaps even as an less obscure preference... :)

Best regards,
