The view's Info panel
The Info panel in the view's drawer gives information about the folder that has been scanned.
It shows the volume on which the folder resides, the name of the folder, and the time when it was scanned.
The file size measure that has been used is shown as well.
When a filter has been applied, it will also show details of this.
The panel also shows the following four sizes:
- Volume size: The total size of the volume.
- Size of scanned files: The total size of the scanned files, using the specified file size measure and after having applied the filter (if any).
- Free space: The available space on the volume, as reported by the Operating System at the time of the scan.
- Miscellaneous used space: All used space that is not accounted for by the size of the scanned files. This includes the following:
- Files that were not scanned, either because the scanned folder was not at the root of the volume, or the user did not have permissions to access all subfolders.
- Files that are excluded by the filter (if any).
- Disk space that is not accounted for because the Logical file size measure is used, which underestimates the space that files actually take up.
- Low-level file system data, needed to store amongst others the folder hierarchy.
