STEPS 1. open Dolphin 2. enable info panel by pressing F11 3. hover over a file and obverse 'Size' shown in info panel - it's the file size in KiB, MíB, etc 4. hover over a folder and observe 'Size' in info panel: it's the amount of items inside the folder EXPECTED: when we hover over a folder, 'Size' in info panel should tell us the space that the folder occupies in the file system in KiB, MiB, etc. The Information Panel could have a new item called 'Content' to tell us the amount of items inside the folder. Info panel of Dolphin 22.08.1 shows wrong size of contents. For example, when I hover over a folder containing 700 GiB, info panel says 'Size: 204 KiB'.

For example, > when I hover over a folder containing 700 GiB, info panel says 'Size: 204 > KiB'. humm, this only happens with ntfs file system. for folders in my ext4 Home, info panel is still showing the amount of files inside them. |
