Filelight counts all folders as files as in the filesystem they're all just files. ls doesn't show the count of items in subfolders. Try `find ~/somepath | wc -l` Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Created attachment 124066 [details] screenshot: wrong number of files displayed by filelight SUMMARY For various directories, filelight claim, that there are massive numbers of plain files. See e.g. my home directory in the screenshot: 40.501 Files, together 4.4 G (whereas a simple "ls -al | wc" gives 209, including directories). Perhaps, the reason is a certain confusion with symlinks/hardlinks. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start filelight, choose home directory via menue "Open". 2. Mouse hover the non-directory part of the inner ring displayed by filelight 3. check with Unix "ls" OBSERVED RESULT Way too many files counted by filelight. EXPECTED RESULT Filelight counts in the way Unix itself does.
