Created attachment 484 Suggested fix Can you try this patch?
Sorry, the patch didn't fix it. Isn't it better to 'just not follow' symlinks just like 'du -hs'?
Fixed with revision 20544. 2006-03-25 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-deep-count-job.{c,h}, thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-types.h, thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs.{c,h}, thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs.symbols: Allow caller to specify whether the ThunarVfsDeepCountJob should follow symlinks to folders. Bug #1606. * thunar/thunar-size-label.c(thunar_size_label_file_changed): Do not follow symlinks when calculating the size of folders. Bug #1606.
Confirmed... Thanx!
