Xfce Thunar directory size

[Robert Moskowitz]

Shows the Kb of the directory.

I am use to Nautilus and Nemo showing how many files are in the directory.

I looked through the various settings, but could not find how to get 
Thunar to behave like Nautilus and Nemo.

thanks for the help

BTW, I have completed the migration from my F20/Gnome to the new 
F21/Xfce laptop.  Had to backup and copy ~110Gb of files.  Both systems 
are Lenovo x102e units with 240Gb SSD installed.

The only major hangup is that the screen is not turned off with 
screensaver.  And, yes Poma, it is xflock4 that is being run with 
<ctl-alt-del> and it is NOT turning off the backlight.  And I noticed 
the last night with the room light off, that my Asus ee900 (i386 
install) also has its backlight on, but much dimmer than the Lenovo's 
backlight (which can be seen in a lit room).

see:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175015

I need to update the bug report for the Asus problem.

Try enabling Thunar -> View -> Statusbar.

It is enabled.

Turning it off does not change anything wrt directory size, nor 
reenabling it.

thanks

Thunar does this by default. Look right at the bottom of the Thunar
window. It gives you the amount of items in the current directory, as
well as how many space they occupy and a summary of the available
disk space.
