GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 451393
option to show large files
Last modified: 2021-05-26 09:26:58 UTC
When I'm trying to get a handle on my disk usage, I sometimes want to know whether a large (space-consuming) directory has a few large files or many smaller files. The graphical view in Konqueror provides this information, and I've found it useful. (Like the time I noticed that my 5MB core file was really 50MB... :-/) It'd be nice if the Disk Usage Analyzer showed that level of detail in the graphical view, perhaps as an option.

I would like to add my support for this bug and its duplicate -- it would be very useful to display individual file sizes and not just directory totals in baobab.
See also bug 586048 requesting file display in the graphical view.

Created attachment 369389 [details] [review] Patch which adds support for showing files to Baobab. This adds a small checkbox in the dropdown menu on the upper left which toggles the showing of files in both the list and rings chart/treemap chart view.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Baobab, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/baobab/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
