[ubuntu-studio-devel] Nautilus always resets itself to icon-view upon, closing

[Wachín]

to work with list- or detail-view in nautilus so you need to install:

sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

launch it from terminal, or with the launcher Alt+F2, with:

dconf-editor

Go to:

org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/default-folder-viewer

see:

double clic in "default-folder-viewer" and chose that you want, example 
list_view:

http://storage8.static.itmages.com/i/16/0421/h_1461249538_8654939_4b9c8192b5.png

it is important that you recorded in your memory the name of that 
package "dconf-editor" for you easy use in next times

Oh, I said you a new. In the repositories of 15.10 there is a package 
called dolphin4, this software I use to my main file manager, this is 
the same that dolphin but working the search option. I know is necessary 
to install dome services, but is very fantanstic. If you try to use it, 
I made some tutorials for the most necessary config:

Extraer aquí - Comprimir (File-Roller) para dolphin

Añadir enqueue (a la cola de reproducción) al menu contextual del 
administrador de archivos dolphin

other importantly:

kubuntu - Enabling PDF preview in Dolphin - Ask Ubuntu
http://askubuntu.com/questions/86338/enabling-pdf-preview-in-dolphin
from this I install:  kdegraphics-thumbnailers

Preview video files with Dolphin file manager
inside the:

from this I install:   mplayerthumbs
