Description
The app feels great to use, except for how much vertical space the List view is wasting. I know some people prefer or even need the big margins, but when they aren't needed they just make using the app harder by getting elements out of view that would otherwise fit to avoid excess scrolling.
I would love to see an option for a more compact list view where each row element is half the size of what it is now (something similar to GMail's Comfortable vs Compact view).

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the Android file manager's List view implementation and the code that controls row spacing, then trace how view options are stored. Done means users can select a compact mode and List view rows use substantially less vertical space without reducing usability.
