Free Disk Space In KDE?
 
I have a netbook with a 4 GB HD. I love KDE but I'm seeing nowhere that shows me the available space on my HD! I'd like to not have to rely on a plasma widget or df- it just seems like information that should be easily accessible via Dolphin.

Am I not looking in the right places?

Hello,

It is available in Dolphin. Don't select any folders or files, just right click in a blank space inside Dolphin and next on Properties. At the bottom of the window that opens you'll see device information mentioning free space.

Kind regards,

Eric

This Is What You Are Looking For
 
To always show the disk space available for the current folder:

Settings > Configure Dolphin > General > Status Bar > Show Space Information

This displays 2 things in 1: text stating how much is free, and a bar graph showing how much is used. If you want to see text of how much total space you have then you can right click ...

If you have some space and have root permissions, you may want to install Filelight, it is a great KDE app to help you to see where your file space has gone.
