And to be fair in OS X the /Applications folder doesn't strictly contain binaries like /bin does. Each "application" is contained within a .app folder, which includes all sorts of data and resources beyond the application itself. My guess is that Finder basically calculates the sum of the sizes of all of the folders.
This is harder to do for us since apt potentially disperses files all over the place. The best we could do is display only the value of the binary that the desktop entry calls. Which is, like I said, misleading. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814350 Title: "properties" in applications shows "file size 0 bytes" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm-qt/+bug/1814350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
