There are not so much infos and an old nautilus (1.x?) shot.

The big design trouble is the icon + "_Name:" hbox: it forces to left
align all labels.

Alternatively we can use just

    [fileicon]   <big>filename</big>

like in old BeOS, but so you can't change filename :-(

Oh, a little OT: 'cause now we can handle icon themes, probably we need
an icon selector like KDE one.

I'm trying it: not so bad :-)

BTW: icon buttons ("Select..." and "Remove") should be spread, end,
start, what aligned?

Should be deprecated as frames. Moreover I see the "Basic" tab use a
null table row. I think it's the best (and more simple) solution.
