Baobab shows 0 byte file size on smb mounts

[Adam Niedling]

Baobab shows 0 byte size on smb mounts. See attached screenshot. The pie chart is correct but the file size colomn on the left side is incorrect.
In my case I was using Baobab to take a look at a Windows XP shared directory (smb).
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 x64 on my computer.
Update: I just tried to use Baobab on a Ubuntu 12.04 samba share with the same result. So Baobab is faulty on both Windows and Linux shares.

(Translation for the screenshot: Méret=size, bájt=byte)

It's still the same in Ubuntu 13.10.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

boaobab also shows all file sizes 0 when scanning a remote server with sftp, in ubuntu 14.04
like described above, only when scanning a server using sftp, not with a smb mount.

same here on 14.04, is there any good alternatives?

Same problem here on:
     baobab 3.8.2
     Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Codename: trusty

0 bytes on smb and sftp(ssh) mounted with gvfs (nautilus), allthogh it shows % usage and draws pie chart

Still the same here, Ubuntu 14.04.2 Trusty Tahr. I can't believe this bug is over two years old already. Is this harder to fix than it seems on the surface? If so, why? Maybe somebody can help out.

Oops, misread 2013-10 as 2013-01. But anyway. ;)

It's working in Ubuntu 15.10.
