Please read all the bug comments / clarifications :) this enhancement request is not about "out of disk space" alert; it is about reporting the total of bytes your going to install / remove. Now that total bytes is showed when the installation step is already started (really when starting to download the packages).
Other package management tools show the disk variation: SMART and Synaptics, if I'm not wrong...
Also zypper, in textual mode...
Yast used to show % disk space usage at the bottom left of the window but somewhere along the way it was left out and nobody noticed until now.
Yes, but the _disk usage variation_ is very difficuly to note.
The scope of the enhancement is to have a way to know this variation in an explicit and immediate way. The idea is to pop up a summary window with all informations (disk usage variation, download size, overall disk usage) using a new menu item. So this information is prompted on demand.
Other proposal (adding a button, automatically activate the pop up on accept of installation summary filter choice) are essentially discharged.
For the ncurses-gui, there is a proposal and I hope it will be adopted.
Regards, Andrea Maybe at the installation summary screen the unused bottom left section could be used to display explicit before and after disk usage. Regards Dave P
