The properties dialog does so already in cvs (soon 2.2-alpha1).
The statusbar is already too crowded and this would slow konq down a bit.

And why do you think it has been closed ?
Konqueror does display the free disk space in the properties dialog.
I will NOT add this to the statusbar it would slow Konqueror down for nothing 
in 99% of the cases.
Please let me close a wishlist if I don't think it will be implemented.

Comment 3 John Tapsell 2003-05-22 09:18:04 UTC
Can someone say why it will slow it down? 
doing "df /somedir" seems very fast... 
I'm guessing that you are thinking of when you have devices like floppy disks or something? 
Perhaps the freespace could be shown only for hard disks? 
Comment 4 Yves Glodt 2003-09-12 23:51:17 UTC
The more KDE advances, the more this is needed. 
Comment 5 jos poortvliet 2004-01-25 15:30:45 UTC
I agree it is not needed. there is work being done on some sidebar's for konqi, and some of them provide this functionallity - and I think that's where it belongs.
Comment 6 Andrea Cascio 2004-01-25 19:06:00 UTC
Sorry, but this is one of the most useful information that can sit on the status bar of a filemanager... if you think status bar is too crowded, than other things should go away first (i.e. who cares about how many of the items are directory?)
Comment 7 Bojan 2005-01-03 20:43:10 UTC
It is being shown in gnome 2.8 file manager...
