Low information density (icons too sparse) in Nautilus on Ubuntu 13.04

Question

Information density in Nautilus on Ubuntu 13.04 is way too low for me; i.e. too few lines fits on the screen to my liking.

For example, here's the same directory displayed in Nautilus in Ubuntu 12.04 (ok): http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm249/hrenistic/nautilus_800x600_u1204_zps447df9e4.png

and in Ubuntu 13.04 (way too sparse): http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm249/hrenistic/nautilus_800x600_u1304_zpsa4484a78.png

How do I make Nautilus display files in a more compact mode?

Answer 1

You need to Open Nautilus and Click on the menu and select Preferences

Answer 2

Unfortunately, Nautilus developer removed some features in nautilus 3.6, which is included by default in Ubuntu 13.04, now nautilus 3.6 unsupported to compact view, but we can add it from using nautilus 3.4 patched version, run this command in terminal to get older features

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
killall nautilus
