Description andrewwise3904 2022-08-08 17:06:26 UTC 
SUMMARY
Number of files within folder (directory) and sub-folders(sub-directory) are probably incorrect

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. right-click on the directory/folder
2. left-click on 'properties'

OBSERVED RESULT
I rsync copied a folder called 'apps' from my /home partition to another partition on another disk. That partition path is /media/data/storage/

when I get the properties of the apps folder in /media/data/storage, under 'Size' there is a count of how many files there are in that folder and sub-folder's and the number of sub-folders. I can see a count of 25,363 files, 16,555 sub-folders. When i check the 'apps' folder in my /home/username directory. The count of files is:

24,902 files, 16,555 sub-folders

In terminal, while in the /home/username/apps directory, if I do:

find . -type f | wc -l

the output is: 

24523

In terminal, while in the /media/data/storage/apps directory, if I do:

find . -type f | wc -l

the output is:

24523

p.s. clicking 'refresh' (as suggested with this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238424) for folder /home/username/apps/ does not change the number of files. it remains: 24,902. Same for /media/data/storage/apps, hitting refresh does not change the file count. It remains: 25363.

EXPECTED RESULT
The number (amount) of files should match. I checked using Thunar file manager which report the number of items (the number of files + sub-directories) and the result is the same for both locations. i.e. 41919.

The difference between Dolphin and Find might be partly explained by symbolic links if there are any, does  "find . -type f -o -type l" make a difference?
