How to get bigger photos' thumbnails in Nautilus?

Today I wanted to go through my photos collection but I have realised that it is quite difficult to go through thumbnails in Nautilus as it is using the free space in the window very inefficiently, e.g.

Is there any other option to use it less "padding" , free space between other photos ? Or should I use other window manager to achieve this ?

Solution 1:

In Nautilus you can right click on a empty area in the folder and select Zoom In or use Ctrl + Mouse scroll wheel to zoom the pictures.

Alternate is to use Thunar

Solution 2:

I have ended up using nemo as file manager. There has been a new version recently on webupd8 http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/install-nemo-with-unity-patches-and.html
