I had another look at this and it finally worked for me. I tried setting the parameter in the dconf editor before, but apparently I wrote "list-view" with a dash instead of an underscore, so I assumed it does not work. Always a good idea to double-check, so thanks again! @ Len: Just a quick remark on the "gear wheel" that you suggested using: I do not see a "gear wheel" anywhere when I install Nautilus on Ubuntu Studio 15.10 or 16.04. There is a menu toggle button, but it only gives options related to the currently viewed folder. Normally there should be a way of entering the preferences from the file manager's interface, but I see no possibility to access it, because the button layout is different from Unity and the Xfce window decorator prevents targeting the menu bar, I believe. I haven't tested the other mentioned file managers, yet. With the possibility of changing the settings with the dconf-editor however, this is absolutely usable for me. I hope this did not turn into a technical support issue too much.
