Title: Folder Size now shows size of target of Junctions & Directory Symlinks
Post by: bicyclops on September 16, 2024, 21:56:21

14.1 - Folder size of directory symbolic links and junctions always shown as 0
14.2 - Now folder size shows the size of the target folder

This is propagated upward, so that the size of a folder containing links includes the size of the targets of the links, so the the folder may appear to hold much more data than it actually does. And so on upward such that the physical drive may appear to hold more than its actual capacity. This is a problem for me, at least.

I'm guessing that this was an unintended side effect of this change:

  FIXED - Getting folder size works for OneDrive folder again

Is it possible to have OneDrive folders show the correct size, but show junctions and symlinks as 0 as in 14.1?
Or add an option to turn the new behavior off?

Thanks

Menu > Configuration > Core Settings > FileSystem (Tab)
Under the section "Junctions and symlinks" there is a settings for sizing Folder. change it to not follow links

That doesn't do it.

It is set to "Do not follow link (Recommended)" and it still calculates size for links.

I reverted to version 14.1 - that works correctly.
14.2 does not.
