GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 46340
Changing contents of folder doesn't refresh deep count
Last modified: 2020-03-12 18:04:10 UTC
To reproduce: (1) Right-click on some folder and choose "Show Properties". Note the contents count in the properties window. (2) Open the folder right-clicked on in step 1. (Don't close the properties window.) (3) Make a new folder here, or select some item and duplicate it. Note that the count in the sidebar updates correctly, but the deep count in the properties window continues to show the old stale number. We don't reset the deep count in this case. Ideally we would update the deep count without resetting it, but that would involve walking up the parent chain updating each parent (until a NautilusDirectory with no corresponding NautilusFile was encountered). We also have to make sure that we don't update the deep count every time we update the shallow count, because that would mean the return of bug 45863. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:59 -------
Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
I see this in the current 2.0.x release of nautilus too.

Confirmed with 2.4.x. Setting version->2.4.x, adding GNOMEVER2.4, GNOMEVER2.5 keywords.

The deep count is updated here, but the count for the folder in a icon view (spatial) window is not updated until I ctrl+r
Still true. However, the steps to reproduce now require opening the same folder in another window before step (1), because Properties dialog is modal now.
This cannot be realistically fixed without introducing bugs, as argued in the commit message of commit 13ecf5f9c2d219866550757cb660b569299ac285
