Thunar doesn't show the actual folder size
Status:
RESOLVED: DUPLICATE

Description Hei 2018-08-15 13:17:09 CEST
Thunar shows the sizes of folders that contains many GBs as measuring 0,0KB or 4,1KB. Some say it's not a bug, but if it's not a bug, i suggest you to take off the "size" cell because it's useless.

I really think that it could show the actual size of every folder by default like it does with files.

Thank you.

There are already plans to replace the 4.1KB:

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10338

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11524

Both already with working patches ... however both stil lack quality to get pushed to master.

Thank you, alexxcons! I saw the patch but don't know how to patch it.

I still hope someday xfce team will do this. Thanks!
