Folder Size and Symbolic Links
Posted: 16.04.2019, 11:54
If I use freecommander on a server and list the folder size for the users directory, it will always also calculate the links that are inside the folder.
In this case it will also add the filesize of the c:\programdata as this is the "All Users" folder.
There should be an option to turn this off, as this leads to very weird sums if you eg. calculate volume c:\ as it will give you a size that can even be more than the disk-size.
It is at all questionable to anyhow add the files behind the link to the list, as they dont reside in that folder for real.
