I'm trying to find total numbers of files and directories in my home 
folder using following two methods ... but the result is different in 
both ways
_
__first command line_

tree /home/jatin | tail -1

3071 directories, 26455 files

thus total containing items are 3071+26455=29525


second using GUI ( right click on /home/jatin directory ..and then 
properties )

it shows, 29,503 items, totalling


why like that .... M I doing anything wrong ... is there any batter way 
to confirm total files and directories in my home folder ????


( I've taken a backup of my home directory and want to confirm that 
everything is ok or not ..by comparing the directory and files )


there is also difference in size  "du" command output  and gui


Warm Regards
