Hello,

If this is not a bug, then for reasons unknown and as near as I can tell un-announced and undiscussed, a decision was made in the caja development community to default to compact spacing for Icon view.

This can be reversed by selecting :

View->Arrange items-> from the Caja menu bar and un-checking - Compact Layout.

This has to be done every time a directory defaults to Compact Layout.

I would not be surprised if there is a mate-conf configuration Thingy that can be set to globally default to a non compact layout, but I do not know what that value is - at the moment

Cheers

Colby.

This is an old wish of linux users. There is nothing on the internet about it.

You can try KDE desktop, it handles very well the spacing between icons.
