Hi guys
Today I found another BUG in Vista.

1. Enable "Statusbar" by pressing <ALT> key and goto "View -> Statusbar".
2. Now open any folder containing images.
3. Select any image file and see its size in statusbar.
4. Now refresh the folder by pressing <F5> key and again select that file. Now see its size again in Statusbar. U'll be surprised by seeing its size. It'll be doubled. Again Refresh and again check the size in statusbar. It'll be again doubled. and so on......

So if u select a file and see its size in statusbar, suppose it is 1 MB, then after refreshing the folder and again selecting the file will show its size as 2 MB in statusbar and so on..... If u select a different file after refreshing the folder, then it'll add the new file size in previous file size and will show the sum in status bar.

Its happening for me as well as another computer of my friend. Pls check whether it happens for u too?

LOL! :lol:

All I'm trying to say is that it is not shitty for the reason he gave (one tiny bug).

It is shitty though, but for a whole load of other more serious reasons.

(Yeah, that didn't last long, did it! :p)

As for me it didn't double, it merely added the original file size to each new refresh....like 4MB, 8MB, 12MB...so on...

never happened with me.. nor in 120 systems in our branch... i think bug is something exclusive to some people... or Vishal , you tricked too much with the OS :D

Well, they gotta give at least some features that we actually might need and are exclusive for the Ultimate version if they are to justify the insane price they have set on it.

hey Mav, what's with you dissing my math? 4 ka double 8, but 8 ka double is 16 but it shows 12 on my system...so on was written after 12 which means to show that the original 4MB is added each time it is refreshed.

i dont thinki its a bug ... i think unlike in xp we have an option of re-sizing our icons, and also customizing the icon views ... so this 1 is not a bug .... bugging yes but a bug no .... it happens in every folder ... dekstop is no different
