(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: 2.1.1 (using KDE 2.1.2 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) OS: Linux 2.4.0 i686 OS/Compiler notes: Some improvements for the file exists dialog: * Display full size of files in bytes. If you make small changes of big files you don't see which one is larger. * Advanced features: - Activate via an advanced button to hide it from normal users - Overwrite if newer/older/biger/smaller - Append files - Look at Midnight Commander for example (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
Please only one bug/wish per report.

hm, mark it JJ?

>Display full size of files in bytes. In my work this is not only helpful, but very nearly vital. Presently neither Konqueror nor Dolphin permit this display, and I need it desperately.
Wayne: the full size in bytes is available in the properties dialog for any file.
SVN commit 947736 by dfaure: Show size in bytes next to the human-readable-size, useful for comparing two files with almost the same size. Will be in KDE-4.3. CCBUG: 26346 M +6 -2 renamedialog.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=947736
This issue is *not* fixed. It is the prerogative of developers to choose not to fix a reported problem, but I believe the term for this is 'wontfix'. '* Display full size of files in bytes.' Filesize in bytes has long been available in the *properties* dialog (read: you have to click and select properties for one file at a time). What I need is the option to display filesize in bytes *in the primary display pane*. If an option now exists in KDE 4.3 in either Konqueror filemanagement mode or in Dolphin, it is extraordinarily well hidden. Running here: kdebase-4.3.0-1.fc11.i586 - Konqueror Version 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) - Dolphin Version 1.3. I just checked every setup option I could find and I can say with considerable confidence that no 'display filesize in bytes' option exists for the primary display pane. For Fedora Core 4, Konqueror settings have a simple checkbox in the Appearance dialog for 'Display file sizes in bytes' ((Konqueror 3.5.3-0.2.fc4 Red Hat (Using KDE 3.5.3-0.2.fc4 Red Hat)). Not having that capability in KDE 4.3, except in a one-at-a-time properties dialog, is a regression in its plainest manifestation. I am not a programmer, so I have no idea how difficult it may be to provide this option, for which I have asked several times before I found what I thought would be the proper forum and ticket, namely this one... which has been closed. Please. I'm begging here. At least tell me it is too hard and why? ;-)
@Wayne: this bug report is about adding the size in byte when a file is overwritten. What you're asking for is different: I imagine that "primary display plane" is the "information panel" (the default panel on the right sidebar). If I'm right, please open a new report (wish) against Dolphin. Thanks.
