Hi, I don't get how this issue got closed by just ignoring the fact that this is very bad UI. I just experienced this "bug", therefor searched for it and found this issue. So what had happened: I deleted a bunch of stuff, than navigated to Trash in Dolphin, emptied Trash, looked at the bottom right, saw 90 GB free, began copying 80 GB, which failed, since the space that was really available on the harddrive was just about 50 GB. Nobody I know ever cared about the available space in Trash and the space free display in Dolpin always shows just "xx GiB free" anywhere you navigate without ever telling the user *where* xx GiB are free despite that Dolphin is internally differentiating. So the solution is to either always show the pretty much only relevant figure, which is the space that's really free on the harddrive or change Dolphin's display so that it mentions "xx GiB free in Trash" or wherever or ideally it would always show two figures whenever the user navigates to a directory where two figures are relevant as in case of Trash. Btw Krusader doesn't show any free space figure for Trash, which could be another solution Dolphin could adapt, since as already mentioned next to nobody cares about the space available in Trash AFAIK. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
