Hi jahvascriptmaniac

I did say that this was my personal opinion and it is up to the
developers of nautilus how to fix this bug.

However after seeing the solution
'Content : 1234 files (2Gb), including 178 hidden elements (15Mb).'
I feel that that would be the best way to present the size.

The reason that I originally felt that the size should only be shown
after showing hidden items is because sometimes people will hide files
for a reason so that people don't know that they are there. But when
they look at the size of the folder and find that it doesn't match up
with the files in it then they would then work out that there are hidden
files there.

Overall however I feel that the default solution should be:
'Content : 1234 files (2Gb), including 178 hidden elements (15Mb).'
But as I said above it is down to the developers (or a person higher up) to 
decide, not me.

Hope that clears up any issues.

Andy
