More compact thumbnail view as inspiration

It would be useful with a more compact thumbnail view, with less space around the thumbnails, especially a reduction of space above and below each image. When the user just wants to browse and classify images with tags and stars, and perhaps rotate and delete some images, it's helpful to use large thumbnails, but at the same time see many thumbnails on-screen at once for an overview. 

There is currently still a lot of space above and below each image, even if the user turns OFF things like "show filename", "show creation date" or "show rotation overlay buttons". It would be useful to be able to see at least 5 columns x 3 rows of images, and perhaps even 5 columns x 4 rows, at the same time (in full screen view). 

A photo app that has a better compact thumbnail view is Lyn (www.lynapp.com - see attached screenshot), which might perhaps be used as inspiration (even though this one too could be more compact). 

A compact thumbnail view option could be a setting in DigiKam under Preferences -> Views -> Icons, such as perhaps "Minimize space above and below thumbnails".

Maik,

We can gain free space in icon view with a simplification of color label proposed in bug #448045.

Maik, 

The other entry to gain space in icon view is this entry about the new option to hide the thumbnails frame:
