Description francky.leyn 2012-04-11 17:39:39 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
