Description Geoffroy 2014-11-17 02:47:16 UTC 
When displaying files in icon view at high zoom level (100%, 200%), the empty space between icons seems to be ~150% icon width, which is unnecessary and a big waste of screen real estate. It makes nautilus impractical to view picture folders.
Comment 1 Jonathan 2015-01-06 01:07:26 UTC 
Yes, that is the case. Going to max zoom level for a picture folder with maximized nautilus window, I have two columns of thumbnails when there would probably be room for six columns if the spacing was shrunk. This makes this zoom level sadly impractical to use.

nautilus 3.14.2

I'm attaching a screenshot.

The lower zoom levels share this problem but it's best visible for max zoom.
Comment 4 Carlos Soriano 2015-01-07 09:22:57 UTC 
Fixed in the upcomming branch wip/gaction

Thanks for taking the time to report this.
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has been fixed. Better spacing for all zoom levels is available in the latest release (version 3.16).
