WebUI showing NaN for folder size #6237
Description
Expected behaviour
If the folder size is unknown, the total size is indicated as NaN undefined:
Why is the folder size even unknown? The server should know how big the folder is?

@schiesbn Can you have a look?
MorrisJobke commentedon Dec 8, 2013
@icewind1991 Could it be, that the cache scan isnt finished yet?
@Pro Is it now displayed correct? Or is it still a "?"
Pro commentedon Dec 8, 2013
Yes, it was due to the cache scan. Now it shows the correct folder size in both places.
Anyways instead of the "NaN undefined" there should also be a "?".
And maybe it would be a good idea to show a tooltip when the "?" is shown indicating what "?" means (e.g. "Calculating, please wait")
MorrisJobke commentedon Dec 8, 2013
@Pro Yes. Now I see it. You mean the summary (I just not read it as accurate as I should :() Thanks.
PVince81 commentedon Dec 8, 2013
I guess we can make it a "?" if it is completely unknown.
If we have a few unknown values, we could show value + '+'.
Example:
Total size: 27+ MB
Not sure whether that makes sense ?

You could also consider showing a spinner (animated rotating circle) during cache scan instead of the "?"

I like the idea from @PVince81
Regarding the idea with the spinner, it is probably not possible for the background scanner to hook into the UI
MorrisJobke commentedon Dec 9, 2013
Concerning the spinner: I don't like it, because it attracts to much in relation to its importance. I'm fine with @PVince81 's approach
jancborchardt commentedon Dec 9, 2013
Yeah, seconding @PVince81, and I’m also against a spinner because it’s not that important.
@Pro nice username!

Just found out that if you select a mountpoint (external storage) using the checkbox, which itself doesn't have a size, it will also show "NaN" in the header. This could be fixed here as well.
Pro commentedon Jan 29, 2014
It seems there's another problem with the size calculation (on 6.0.1):
Here a sceenshot of the parent folder:
The value of 374,5MB is totally wrong, the folder is approx. 77GB.
Here a few subfolders:

Setting as junior job.
Should be a matter of adding a check in the code to display "Pending" instead of NaN in case where a size is not known.
karlitschek commentedon Dec 5, 2014
@PVince81 Is this still open?
PVince81 commentedon Dec 5, 2014
Yes, likely
PVince81 commentedon Aug 3, 2015
@Xenopathic didn't you fix something similar a while ago ?
RobinMcCorkell commentedon Aug 3, 2015
The only thing I could find was #12639, but that was for the modified date not the file size.
PVince81 commentedon Aug 17, 2015
Works properly on OC 8.0.6 and later. No more "NaN" but "Pending" appears.
