Re: [Usability] Nautilus List View as Default

[Dokuro <dario soto gmail com>]

for the way it behaves with the mouse in the selecction of multiple
files, i will go with the icon or compact view over the list since the
information that it shoes is looked over by most people, and it does
not leave any open space to click and drag a selection square making
you rely on the shift and control keys.
