Created attachment 183336 [details] Used on an SMB share, displays the incorrect behaviour listed SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE (tested on both SMB and SFTP shares, the result is the same) 1. Either open Filelight and navigate to any SMB/SFTP folder, or navigate there in Dolphin and open Disk Usage Statistics 2. Let Filelight index the folder 3. Observe that the contents are indexed by ascending alphabetical order instead of the expected/intended descending size order OBSERVED RESULT Files and folders are sorted in ascending alphabetical order in both the detailed left panel and main graphical view EXPECTED RESULT Files and folders should be listed in descending size order in both detail and graphical view SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Filelight 25.04.3 Fedora Linux 42 Linux Kernel 6.15.5-200.fc42 KDE Plasma 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks 6.16.0 Qt 6.9.1
Created attachment 183337 [details] Used on a local drive, displays the correct and intended behaviour
What am I looking for in your screenshots?
(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #2) > What am I looking for in your screenshots? 183337 (in the separate comment) is showing a folder on my internal drive, going anticlockwise from the right is the largest subfolder (in red), followed by progressively smaller ones in green, cyan, blue, etc before the 'misc small files' in dark purple. With the angle of the segment representing actual file/folder size, this is what I would expect (sorted in size order). 183336 (in the original post) is from running Filelight on an SMB share. Instead of the first element on the right (in red) being largest, it's yellow, orange, blue, red, purple and not in size order on the chart itself. There's no setting to change the sort order and, considering its purpose as a disk usage analyser, I would assume the intended behaviour would be to show the contents in order of size hence my thinking this is unintended. I realise by cropping out the details view it doesn't show that those folders are instead sorted in alphabetical order, so if it would be helpful for me to also show the details panel on the left I'll happily do that.
