            Bug ID: 433208
           Summary: Dolphin should compute folder sizes (storage size, not
                    item counts) immediately
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.12.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor

         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
It's hard to know when Dolphin will compute folder sizes when sizing folders by
size and not counting items. The search for folder sizes should start
immediately but does not appear to.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Dolphin normally and go to a folder where you have many files and
folders of varying sizes.
2. Open Dolphin preferences and switch View Modes/Details/Folder size displays
to "Size of contents, up to" and pick some depth level that will certainly
contain everything in your folder and all subfolders of that folder.
Optional: Quit and relaunch Dolphin and then navigate to the same folder.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin doesn't compute folder sizes for a while. I'm not sure how to cajole
Dolphin into computing folder sizes. Refreshing the folder doesn't seem to get
Dolphin to computer folder sizes. Getting the properties of a visible folder
and refreshing its size from the properties window doesn't make the main
Dolphin window in details view update with the just-computed size value.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should immediately begin computing folder sizes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I use folder size a lot so I'm interested in getting the size of a folder from
Dolphin immediately.
