Bug ID: 438841
Summary: Symlink files resulting in wrong file sizes
Product: filelight
Version: 21.04.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Wrong file sizes for symlink files when indexing
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Symlink a bunch of large files to arbitrary locations
OBSERVED RESULT
Filelight accounts for the size of symlink files when indexing. I have a lot of
large files symlinked elsewhere on my computer. The total used space shown in
filelight is larger than my SSD capacity!! and I only have a single SSD
EXPECTED RESULT
Symlink files are basically pointing to the original files. Their sizes should
not be accounted when indexing.
