<!-- Thanks to Heiner Eichmann -->
|
|
<para>There are two ways to calculate the occupied space of
|
|
files/directories.

<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Pressing the
|
|
<keycap>SPACE</keycap> on a directory under the cursor
|
|
instantly calculates the occupied size. Pressing
|
|
<keycap>SPACE</keycap> a second time will toggle the selection
|
|
of the directory without affecting the selection status of
|
|
other files/directories.</para>

<listitem>
|
|
<para>To calculate how much disk space is occupied by the
|
|
selected files and directories in the active panel select
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>File</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Calculate Occupied Space</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>
|
|
</emphasis>. After a small delay, a dialog box will be
|
|
displayed with total occupied space and the number of files
|
|
and directories you selected. The space occupied by every
|
|
selected directory will be shown as if the user just pressed
|
|
<keycap>SPACE</keycap> on those directories. If the active
|
|
panel is browsing an archive, the numbers will apply to the
|
|
unpacked size of the selected files and directories, not
|
|
their compressed size. After the calculation the selection
|
|
state will be toggled and the cursor will move one step
|
|
downwards.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>Calculating the occupied space on remote
|
|
file systems is supported.

<note>
|
|
<para>Performing this operation on a very large file system
|
|
(thousands of files) may be time-consuming. You can cancel the
|
|
calculation process at any time by clicking the
|
|
<guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> button.</para>
