Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
you can set in preferences, visualization, to add the "dimension" shown under a file/directory
this means filesize for files, and number of elements for a directoty.
do this simple think from ma nautilus window: create two directories:
source destination
create some files in source, and cut them
go to the parent directory:
you can see that source has now the wanted dimension (e.g. 3 files)
now paste, right clicking paste on the destination directory (not going into it), and you will see that the destination directory has the right dimension, but the source directory still has the previous dimension!
the source dimension should be updated when moving files

If you do the same thing from a shell using mv, and you keep open the parent folder, the result is the opposite:
the source directory count is updated, while the destination count is not updated.
After doing other tests with touch and rm, I see that the problem persists. Maybe inotify is not used well, when displaying the dimension?
