Please only one bug/wish per report. hm, mark it JJ? >Display full size of files in bytes.
This would be very helpful
>Display full size of files in bytes.
In my work this is not only helpful, but very nearly vital. Presently neither Konqueror nor Dolphin permit this display, and I need it desperately.
Wayne: the full size in bytes is available in the properties dialog for any file. SVN commit 947736 by dfaure: Show size in bytes next to the human-readable-size, useful for comparing two files with almost the same size. Will be in KDE-4.3. CCBUG: 26346 M +6 -2 renamedialog.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=947736 This issue is *not* fixed. It is the prerogative of developers to choose not to fix a reported problem, but I believe the term for this is 'wontfix'. '* Display full size of files in bytes.' Filesize in bytes has long been available in the *properties* dialog (read: you have to click and select properties for one file at a time). What I need is the option to display filesize in bytes *in the primary display pane*. If an option now exists in KDE 4.3 in either Konqueror filemanagement mode or in Dolphin, it is extraordinarily well hidden. Running here: kdebase-4.3.0-1.fc11.i586 - Konqueror Version 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) - Dolphin Version 1.3. I just checked every setup option I could find and I can say with considerable confidence that no 'display filesize in bytes' option exists for the primary display pane. For Fedora Core 4, Konqueror settings have a simple checkbox in the Appearance dialog for 'Display file sizes in bytes' ((Konqueror 3.5.3-0.2.fc4 Red Hat (Using KDE 3.5.3-0.2.fc4 Red Hat)). Not having that capability in KDE 4.3, except in a one-at-a-time properties dialog, is a regression in its plainest manifestation. I am not a programmer, so I have no idea how difficult it may be to provide this option, for which I have asked several times before I found what I thought would be the proper forum and ticket, namely this one... which has been closed. Please. I'm begging here. At least tell me it is too hard and why? ;-) @Wayne: this bug report is about adding the size in byte when a file is overwritten. What you're asking for is different: I imagine that "primary display plane" is the "information panel" (the default panel on the right sidebar). If I'm right, please open a new report (wish) against Dolphin. Thanks. |
