GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 504771
Show total file size in Status bar
Last modified: 2012-08-31 15:40:43 UTC
I apologize if the terminology is a bit incorrect, I'm using the sv_SE and not en_GB If I have the status bar (View/Statusbar) turned on I get information about the number of files in a specific folder and the total space available to me. 11 objects, free space: 264,2 MB If you select a number of objects (files and/or folders) you get: 2 folders selected (containing total of 65 objects), 2 other objects selected (761,6 kB) I don't like to do a CTRL-A to select everything just to get the total size of every file in the folder so I'd like to suggest a change to how the information is presented with no items selected: U objects (V folders, X objects using Y space), free space: Z where U is total number of objects V is number of folders local or mounted and X is the number of other files. Y is their total size Z is total space left on drive/partition Also This information is not available when using "list view" Well, it is, until you select a file or folder. Then it gets replaced with: "Filename.extension" selected (XXX MB) It's impossible to not have a file or folder selected in "list view" as it is in "icon view" Preferably the total size of the folder and or disk/partition could be aligned right in the status bar so it's always available in the lower right corner. Other information:
Confirmed in 2.23.90. It would be a nice to have.
Confirmed. I absolutely agree.
Am I the only one bugged by this?
The statusbar design has changed considerably since this was filed. We don't show it when nothing is selected anymore.
