Firefox is where i first noticed it but it seems to be prevalent - almost every package i try has the same lack of information. If it happened with one package and not another then i would have noticed it sooner and written the bug report to that particular package. The fact that you haven't noticed it and don't understand what i'm describing suggests it's a minor issue and doesn't behave differently in other packages either.
Compare and contrast with what happens in Synaptic package manager where it clearly shows in the status-bar how much space will be taken up with the new package. Or compare with other file-browsers such as Windows explorer where again it shows how much space the file will take up in the grey border near the Save button. Clearly Explorer is quite inferior but in some little features like this it seems quite far ahead. Nautilus could perhaps leap-frog into the lead by also showing the amount of empty space left in the location the file is about to be saved to, something that i havent noticed in any other file-browser, yet. ** Attachment added: "SaveAs box .png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20995265/SaveAs%20box%20.png ** Attachment removed: "SaveAs box .png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20995265/SaveAs%20box%20.png -- Save As.. file-size indicator? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
