[Bug 1171771] Re: Indicate directory size calculation in properties dialog
@Dominik Thanks so much for you attention to the bug I reported. I am really pleased that you have taken the time to look at this. I would like to query your decision to mark this bug as opinion. I have noticed that some other operating systems also exhibit this behaviour and so it may be to some extent 'culturally normalized'. But the bare facts are that nautilus is displaying erroneous information. This *could* even be harmful if a user chose to believe the information being displayed and let it inform decisions about disk space management. I am not sure of the exact criteria for classifying a bug as opinion so I am happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable but I just thought I would check.

Good(ish) news: It seems that this bug has been fixed in versions 3.6 and later of nautilus (see below). Ubuntu LTS users (like me) are currently on 3.4. It would be good if ubuntu pushed an update that upgraded the nautilus version. Otherwise I guess we wait until April 2014 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711256 nautilus | File Properties Dialog | 3.4.x António Fernandes AntonioJPFernandes changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC||antoniojpfernan...@gmail.co ||m Resolution||DUPLICATE --- Comment #1 from António Fernandes antoniojpfernan...@gmail.com 2013-11-01 13:01:03 UTC --- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 386233 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386233 Thank, marking as duplicate here as well. It's a nice to fix bug probably not an high priority for an LTS update (it's an annoyance but doesn't prevent anyone to use their computer or from getting work done) ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 386233 nautilus should indicate when properties are updating -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171771 Title: Indicate directory size calculation in properties dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1171771/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
