Are you sure this is a dup? #386233 seems to deal with the cases where
some property actually changes while they are been displayed. Here I'm
talking about when you open a folder's properties dialog and the size is
computed "for the first time", and you don't even know when it's done
computing it.
Also this is definitely more than "whishlist". It gives incomplete or
plain wrong information (since you don't know how long you have to stare
at it before the size is correct, at any time you are encouraged to
assume what you see is the total size of the contents of the folder)

Title:
no clue is given of whether computing total size of folder is done
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
- right click on a folder with a lot of gigabytes of contents
- select "Properties"
- look at the total size
The size shown increases while it is computed, until it finally stops
increasing.
No clue is given whether it is done computing or not.
Wnen it stops increasing for a few seconds for whatever reason, you
wonder whether it has reached the total or not, and you have no way to
know except wait a few seconds more, and if it still doesn't grow, you
can guess it's done.
A waiting animated icon or progress bar or "computing..." message
should be shown temporarily while the size is being computed, and
disappear when it's done.
