GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 618017
Visualize quantity of files under a directory analog to the visualistion of directory/filesizes

Baobab is often used for planning bigger file copy actions. (At least i use it for that.) But filesize isnt the only factor which affects the duration of a copy process: The quantity of files matters, too. Many little files may take longer for copying than one big file. It would be practical, if you could visualize the quantity of files under a certain path as a piechart, too. This feature shouldnt be too hard to implement. Further you could make up some combined visualisation, which covers filesize and quantity at the same time (maybe simply multiply the values) to calculate the size of the particular slices of the pie diagramm. But this may take things to far.
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.
