Default zoom level setting is ignored for Compact view in Nautilus

[Jan Rathmann]

Hello,

this bug seems to have been introduced with the new GTK3-based Nautilus version (it is also present in Oneiric).

If I try to set a custom value for "Default zoom level" for Compact view mode in Nautilus (via Edit -> Preferences -> Views), it is ignored and the default value (66%) is used anyway.

Reproducing this is easy:

- Start Nautilus
- Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Views
- Select "View new folders using Compact view"
- Close Nautilus window and open a new one
- Got to Edit -> Preferences -> Views again
- Select a very large or very small zoom level for "Compact View defaults"
- Close Nautilus window and open a new one again

The exspected result would be that the icons are either very large or small (depending on what you chose before). But they are still the same size as before, regardless whether you restart Nautilus/open different folders etc. .

Some kind of workaround is to set an individual size for certain folders via Ctrl+'+' or Ctrl+'-' (This works). But this is very annoying since you would have to do this for _every_ folder if you want to have a consistend icon size.

Kind regards,
Jan

Compact view zoom use "icon view" zoom level. I set it to 50% and compact view zoom also displays as 50%. Simple workaround.
