Re: Folder size and number of files

I like typing in commands at the console. Is there
a command that gives me the size of a given folder,

Is there one?
 

You can use "du" with some options for the size of folders, but the best prog
is "ncdu" (probably you'll have to install it). It gives a list of dir with
sizes and, with options "c", number of files and you can "walk" the tree with
arrows.
