Add `Disk size` along `Total size`

Open Marocco2 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi! I use this plugin pretty much to looking into dirs and find which one is taking so much space on my disk, but I found that Total size would only tell me the "nominal" size of a folder and not the real size that weights on my disk. I'll be glad if there is a new voice called Disk size between Total size and Folders that would tell me how much a folder really weights. Thanks

Calculating size on disk is not that straightforward, it would need the plug-in checking cluster sizes and would not work for all filesystems, with a mixture of compression enabled ones.

If you are strictly looking at space utilization, I would look into WinDirStat.
