Bug Description
the real-time updates to the information about the directories as they are scanned is pretty pointless. Until the complete search is finished all folders are shown as 0 bytes. That information is misleading. This is a change/regression from previous versions of baobab.
Upon closer inspection, this turns out to be very odd indeed. The first level directory (~ in case of scanning the home folder) can of course only be fully updated once the scanning comes to a final end. Even then, real-time updates on how many GB have been tallied up so far would be interesting, I guess. Second level directories remain at 0 as well, which is the main point of this ticket. Third-level directories are already correctly reported, though. Especially the discrepancy in treatment between second and third level directories are at the foundation of the oddity in the current behaviour.
version 3.8.2-1ubuntu1 of baobab in trusty
