Details view by default?

[garrett]

It's probably a lot more useful for our target audience (administrators on servers) to default to details view instead of icons:

1. Can see more details about a file, including ownership and permissions
2. Filename isn't wrapped or truncated so aggressively
3. We don't have thumbnails, so icons aren't quite as useful
4. Even if we had thumbnails, most files administrators care about aren't graphical images (JPEGs, PNGs, etc.)

Downsides:

• Lack of gutter (I can fix this, by making a little gap around the table and adjusting the interior padding), so it's easy to unselect files or right-click on the current folder
• It's possible to have more layout issues in various sizes:
  • Mobile support might be problematic in comparison (we'd have to address this specifically, I think)
  • Some widths may not fit all the data well enough (which is why we were thinking about configurable columns, I guess? Configurable columns for listview #564)
