Did you try to click the refresh button? Dolphin always shows a different result for me after I hit the refresh button. Thank you for your help. But no, I don't try it. It's a bug anyway. I am only using KDE 4 to report bugs while these main bugs are fixed. (In reply to comment #2) > Thank you for your help. But no, I don't try it.

Of course it is a bug, it seems only to happen with very big folders though, can you please also check the behavior on your ext3 folder (does it display the right count without the refresh)? I encounter this bug on a very big directory too, it is also on a ntfs volume. O.K. I'm here again. I tested with both folders, and in my case: - In the ext3 folder, after I click "Refresh" I get this result: Dolphin shows all files and folders and the and the correct space that is occupying. - In the NTFS folder, after I click "Refresh" I get this result): Dolphin doesn't show all files or the correct space (I tried it clicking on "Refresh" button two times). == THE CORRECT COMMENT (don't read my previous comment) == O.K. I'm here again. I tested with both folders, and in my case: - In the ext3 folder, after I click "Refresh" I get this result: Dolphin shows all files and folders and the correct space that is occupying (as without clicking the "Refresh" button). - In the NTFS folder, after I click "Refresh" I get this result: Dolphin doesn't show all files or the correct space (as without clicking the "Refresh" button). I tried this clicking on "Refresh" button two times. Thank you :) Can you try the behavior of a smaller folder on an ntfs volume as well? So we can say that this just happens for very big folders. The behavior for me is: I open up properties for a very big folder on ntfs (my pictures folder) it says me that the folder is about 2.9GB big, I click refresh and all of a sudden it is just 2.6GB, does the value change for you as well? My folder has more than 300 GB. Also I tried it with a folder of about 54 GB and less of 10.000 files and I have not got any problem in any partition type. So IMHO I think that the bug is relationated with the numer of files that are copied in a NTFS partition, not with the copy size. Please, mark as confirmed. ...or also it might be related to some files that have nonstandard characters in their filename (will not be the first time that KDE have problems with this kind of files). *** Bug 307451 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 181264 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 265839 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 284163 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have noticed this behavior on cds and dvds: After inserting a cd or dvd and immediately selecting to view the properties of all files and folder from dolphin, the total size and number of files and folders is incorrectly reported. After refreshing a few times, the numbers change and finally are set. I investigated this behavior after dragging the contents of a dvd to my directory and finding out that quite a few files and folders had not been copied. This looks like a serious bug to me. I suspect that this behavior is caused by the selecting or dragging procedures prematurely creating an incomplete list of files to work with, before the system has accounted for the full directory structure. I've found something interesting and relevant. NTFS and ext3 list different total sizes for identical directories. When counting directory size we include the size of entry "." the folder itself. On ext3 this has a size of 4096. On NTFS this has a size of 0. stat matches what we have. ls does not. That wouldn't affect the "total number of files", only the total file size. |
