@sredna Exactly. I would like the size for folders as well. Number of files is not very useful... !KDE
about 6 months ago from Choqok-
@oceanwatcher Calculating the size of a directory would be too slow. The file system doesn't keep the size info.
-
@ivancukic maybe sometime in the future, Nepomuk could help with that? :P
-
@oceanwatcher You can go to properties and get the size. But maybe #Dolphin could display size of folders with #Nepomuk ed content… !kde

Sometimes #google news is just lame :P http://goo.gl/Plu5y

@oceanwatcher calculating dir size in normal use would be slow, if you want 2 easily compare dir size U can use a program called #Filelight
-
@ivancukic How does `du` do it?
-
@oceanwatcher You might like to use Filelight or simply 'du -sh' to see directory sizes.
-
@themadman It does it slowly. :) Do a du $HOME - though it seems it has some kind of caching so the 2nd time you call it it is faster...
-
afaik the caching is the kernel ;)
-
@cyberkiller @eliasp Yes, I know Filelight, but for general day-to-day use, it is not good. Even if slow, I prefer a column for it.
-
@eliasp Terminal is no option
-
@gallaecio If it can be done in Windows, it should be doable in Linux. :-)
-
@aseigo Does it mean it is doable? Even if it might be slow, it helps. And Nepomuk should have the size, right?
-
@oceanwatcher Just because it's done in Windows doesn't mean it's right or useful. What's the significance of having the dir size in bytes?
-
@neilb True. Being able to look at 10 folders and see which one is the bigger is useful. Rarely need to find the biggest on a HD.
-
@oceanwatcher you can use konqueror's file size view
