Hello, Could it be possible to add a "Stop" button in the property box to avoid calculating the number of files and the total size. This information is annoying to determine when there are over 10000 files and I don't talk about more then 50000 files :) Regards, mike-m.
Created attachment 502 Patch to allow aborting the size calculation for folders How about this patch? It allows to cancel the calculation by clicking on the throbber.

It works fine. But the throbbler does not look like to be clickable :| Therefore I hacked around your patch and set a Button instead of the EventBox. Now the throbbler just want to shrill *klik me* :-) See http://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=505 Regards, mike-m.
Well, the idea is to not make the throbber look like a clickable button, as most users may never want to cancel the calculation. It should be an "easter egg" IMHO.
Ok. Actually I'm fine with the easter egg. It was more a self-contest to check if I could change it to a button :) Cheers ;)
