Description Viesturs Zarins 2006-11-05 10:47:27 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

If i create a symlink of a large file and delete it later, the size of a symlink in trash is the size of the file the symlink links to.

I would expect the file sizes in trash to show how much space my trash takes up.

The correct behavior would be to show the symlink size which usually is about hundread bytes.
