You should not play with .gonf files... I told you that, due to a bug
on a gconf key, you had only to opne the GConf Configuration Editor
from menu and clear the noscan key. That's it.

Tomorrow new version 2.2.1 will be online without this bug.



Concerning the size, try unchecking the "Allocated Size" checkbox. You
should have a file that erroneously reports an allocated size too
large. Try investingating with "Show all files in folder". This
function will show you both apparent and allocated sizes.

Sizes in Baobab has been deeply tested with GnomeVFS functions.
