Description Shaun Reich 2009-04-25 02:41:03 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have a symbolic link that points to my "Music" folder, which is ~30-ish GB big, I have a sym-link that points to this folder.

When I right-click and view the properties of this link, it says that it is "242 kb" big. Well, obviously this is reading the size of the symlink itself, *not* what it points to. 

I think that it should say something like "Size of link: 242 kb" then below it, "Size of pointed item: ~30 GB".

This makes it a lot more convenient for me, since it is quite difficult to access the folders that my symbolic links point to, when I would rather just see it from the link itself...

Marking as dup of bug 262531 because that one has the right assignee already.
