You can do this in the Nautilus (Also called "Files") preferences window. Here's how:
Make sure you have "Files" (program) running (or else the menus will NOT bring you the correct sub menus when you click on them)
Click Edit > Preferences
On the Views tab, select the List View viewing option next to "View new folders using:" and click close.
You're done!
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-folder-viewer 'list-view'
Options are 'list-view', 'icon-view' and 'compact-view'.
The tree view can be enabled from the files > preferences. There is a check box for this.
Version : 3.8.2
This is the "List View" in Nautilus up to v3.4 (shipped with Ubuntu 12.10). It's no longer available in Nautilus v3.6
You can activate it in the "View" menu:
Open Nautilus go to Edit ► Preferences then under Display tab checked:
List ViewNavigate folders in a tree
And also In Views tab select "List View" mode and close. Close and open Nautilus again see the changes.
Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04, and 17.10
- Enable list view if it's not already enabled: Click the "Toggle view" button at top right. (It will change to a four-squares or nine-squares button, for going back to icon view. If icon view is enabled, the button will look like a bulleted list.)
- Enable tree view: Go to Files menu -> Preferences -> Views tab -> under List View, enable Allow folders to be expanded
Or via CLI
Enable list view
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-folder-viewer 'list-view'Enable tree view
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.list-view use-tree-view true
In nautilus-3.6 (raring), it's gone though I've added back along with several other changes in a ppa
In 3.8 or higher it's been returned, enabled thru - click on files > preferences > Display > & enable there.
Ubuntu 18.04 gnome-shell 3.28
Use this command:
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.list-view use-tree-view true You can activate the tree view, called as "list view" by clicking via View -> List.
The same can be done by pressing Ctrl + 2 To revert back press Ctrl+ 1
