Folder size calculation is incorrect
« on: May 19, 2009, 09:53:25 PM »
I've noticed that the sizes of subfolders do not add up to the size of the containing folder.  I'm enclosing a screenshot.
I've verified that the subfolder sizes are correct. 

Yummy FTP (1.7.3b12) calculated the sizes with and without the LIST -R option and the results are the same.   I can attach the transcript if need be.

Good catch! It seems the function is failing to include the size of hidden items (files/folders with names that start with a period)

I'll fix this up for the next build. Thanks for reporting it :)

I just noticed that when downloading a folder from on FTP server, any invisible files/folders are NOT copied!  This is bad news.

Never mind; I found an option in Transfers to include invisible items in transfer.  Sorry for the false alarm. :D

No problem. :)

For what it's worth, the option is disabled by default to save people unintentionally uploading OSX specific files, such as .DS_Store, .Localized, etc.
