Re: updated_deep_count_in_progress can not get file size

[Gaolong <imgaolong yahoo cn>]

I am designing a tooltip for nautilus, and I noticed that there is a Bug 147642 about tooltips. I take windows explorer as example. In windows when mouse move over a big directory, it would show "More than ... ", no matter how many big direcotries you pointed your mouse over. But in nautilus, if a directory begins deep_count, any other big directories can only show "Please wait ...", because deep_count return NAUTILUS_REQUEST_NOT_STARTED, and file size zero.

 

But afterall, I think show users "Please wait..." is ok. Perhaps I should not throw myself too deep into nautilus. Best Regards!

This was a design decision.

Deep counting directories is a disk intensive operation. We just allow
one at a time, and process multiple deep count operations subsequently.

Maybe you could elaborate a bit in what context you want to use this
function?
