Bug Description
Under viewing a folder's properties is a line label named "Usage:"
Following that is something like: "21.1 GB of 82.3 GB free (74% used)"
So we get the line:
"Usage: 21.1 GB of 82.3 GB free (74% used)"
You might think this is consistent. I do not. It is poor information structure at best. Totally misleading at worst.
If you want to tell me exactly how much of my disk is free, label the line "Free". But if you really want to report system disk usage, don't confuse me by reporting how much is free followed by the usage in parenthesis. You could put all three pieces of information on the same page, but under the topic "Usage" don't put the amount free.
Yes it's trivial. Think of it as a gimme.
