Thanks for the quick reply and my thanks for the app!  No big deal, I don't know much about OS and filesystems so I was mainly curious.  In this case, it's quite obvious there's such a sparse file there!

Support and Feedback / New user: Folder size uses "size" and not "size on disk"

« on: September 12, 2025, 14:45:48 »

Hi,
I just discovered MC this month and it's absolutely amazing, thanks for a great software (donations are well deserved!).
When computing folder sizes, I noticed one folder was much bigger than it should and found I have a file with a reported size of 512GB but with a size on disk of 186MB.
Is there a way to use the size on disk instead of the reported size?

Thanks!
Fred
