Folder size not accurate

[avsfan]

I am in process of migrating from one machine to another, so I have opened XY and have one pane on the old computer and one pane on the new one.

This works well for comparing things, except when the folder size isn't accurate -- In the attached image, the crashdump directories are actually identical, but the lower pane (on the local drive!) appears to be only getting the size of one of the files inside, but the upper pane (remote machine) is accurate.

Any idea why this would happen, and how to fix it?

The tilde preceding the file sizes indicates Tools > Configuration > Tree and List > Cache folder sizes, is enabled. Disabling this should help?

Ah, yes! That was it! I totally didn't realize that was what the "~" meant!

Thanks much!

Thanks, that's perfect! I was annoyed by this discrepancy as well as it caused trouble when copying stuff on flash drives or on my external HDD, but now I've disabled this option and I get the real sizes now.
