(my search for nautilus status bar did not find that bug, hence why I ended up posting it again) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173872 Title: Nautilus in 13.04 does not display available space Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The new Nautilus in 13.04 (named Files 3.6.3) had removed the status bar, thus removing the only easy way to know how much available space remains on the system or the drive in use. Now, If I want to know how much free space I have on a stock Ubuntu system, I have 3 ways : - Console : df-h or similar tool, not a solution for most of the users. - Baobab - Right-click on a folder > properties I don't know for you but knowing at a glance how much free space is left on my system or usb-key is very important for me. As Files is a Gnome project, this isn't the right place to ask to bring back an essential feature, I'm well aware of this. But I'm certainly not the only one to miss this feature badly. For the ones who think that Nautilus has been dumbed down to much, here's an interesting project: https://launchpad.net/nautilus- elementary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1173872/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
