properties of a folder: #files & #folders <--> #items
Last modified: 2012-04-11 20:37:43 UTC
Hello, I use Nautilus 3.2.1 under Ubuntu Linux. If I ask up the properties of a folder (right click on icon), Nautilus says that there are so much "items". He doesn't say: so many files and so many folders. Is the following true? #items = #files + #folders I have a folder of which I know the number of files and folders. I determined this a follows: #files = find ./foldername -type f | wc -l #folders = find ./foldername -type d | wc -l - 1 I get the following results: 237,151 files 31,244 folders When I ask up the nautilus properties of that same folder, I get: 238,449 items As one can see there is a big discrepancy with the previous results: 238,449 != 237,151 + 31,244 = 268,395 What is wrong here? Best regards, Francky
