SUMMARY Dolphin updates the main view when a file has been changed in another application. For instance, when an image has been made smaller, dolphin updates its file size in the details view. If that file is part of a selection, the selection info is not updated. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select several files in Dolphin 2. The accumulated size of the selected files is displayed in the status bar 3. Change one of the selected files OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin updates the file’s item in the main view, but not the accumulated file size in the status bar. EXPECTED RESULT The status bar shall be updated as well. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 5500 There is an identical report at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154733, but because that was fixed and now we are in a different framework, I thought I’d create a new one instead of reopening the old one.
I can't reproduce this error, here's what I did: 1. In an empty folder, use Dolphin right-click menu to create two empty text files (Dolphin actually creates them with a size of 2B each but that's another bug) 2. Select Details view mode in Dolphin so the file sizes are displayed 3. Open one in KWrite 4. Select both files in Dolphin. Status bar now shows "2 Files selected (4B)", and both files have a size of 2B in the main window 5. Add some text to the file that's open in KWrite and save 6. In Dolphin, the status bar now shows "2 Files selected (29B)", and the files have sizes of 2B and 27B in the main window Do the same steps show the error in your installation?

Created attachment 143969 [details] Screenshot showing the problem Here’s a screenie of a demo. I created two files of 2 MiB each with dd, then selected both and then changed one file by echoing empty content into one of them.
Thanks for the screenshot, I can reproduce the error using that method.
