[FEATURE REQUEST] Compact View

[0xlne]

A kind request to enable an option for even more compact mode to display more files in a list.

Also filenames can't often be seen in their entirety without opening the properties, not at all essentially if there's any prefix (e.g. "episode#-").

EDIT: Adjusting screen scaling in the Android settings may alleviate the issue.

Agreed, there is a lot of wasted space in the default view. It could easily display twice as many files at once without getting crowded.

Thanks!

Agree, vertical spacing could easily be reduced without looking crowded.

Apart from this, it's the best file explorer app on Android!

At the minimum, it'd be nice to be able to reduce the font size and padding of the file list to something more similar to the sidebar.

These commands will reduce the default file list height from 72dip to 56dip, which removes the extra padding at the top/bottom without making it look cluttered:

adb shell cmd overlay fabricate --name MaterialFilesListHeight --target me.zhanghai.android.files me.zhanghai.android.files:dimen/two_line_list_item_height 0x5 0x00003801
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.shell:MaterialFilesListHeight

See this gist for more info.

@zhanghai would it be possible to add a toggle to preferences to control this?

Bump! : )
