"Size of contents, up to" mode
Currently we don't do this on purpose, network shares are much slower devices and listing file directory size would impact a lot dolphin reactivity while. It could be better engineered to give priority to IO originating from the user for instance, but the total size would still appear with a noticeable delay. And this would make dolphin freezes when the network connection is lost or similar issues (we don't have a proper way to detect unresponsive network filesystem and so to act on it). This an issue we(devs) struggle with as we lack a good low-level API to use. The pretty much only option would be to poll network shares every seconds to check if they are responsive, which is far from ideal. On neon unstable, 'Size' column of folders located in a Samba share is empty. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Graphics Platform: Wayland Size of folders located in on a network filesystem won't be supported. For several reasons, network-wise it will be very expensive, slow and technically unreliable. We still want to have the number of items in a folder displayed, this is a regression that I will fix. |
Created attachment 128644 [details] "Number of items" mode SUMMARY "Size" column of details view mode don't work as expected with folders located in a samba share. If "Folder size displays:" is set to "Number of items" in Dolphin settings, "Size" column says "0 items". If "Size of contents, up to" option is selected instead, "Size" column says "unknown". See the attached screenshots please. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Dolphin and set details view mode 2. open a samba share containing folders 3. EXPECTED RESULT details view mode should work with samba shares in the same way it does with local file system.
