[Bug 1258393] [NEW] filesize compress wrong hidden

[Eddie Emooth]

Public bug reported:

Im using a 32 bit Ubuntu 13.10.

I was surprised, I was compressing a folder but abnormally it became a
way larger after the compression.

What Im compressing are basically text files and as a matter of fact
text files have a maximum compression ratio.

How come the uncompressed folder is just 266.8 MB but the compressed 7
zip is a way larger, 843.6 MB ? For more information have a look at the
pictures attached.

Think first, what could be the problem.

I Finally figured out the problem.
The problem is I have heaps of hidden files and folders from bazaar version controlling. When I see that on the folder properties it doesn't scan the size of the hidden .bzr folder inside. It completely ignores this folder. How in Earth am I going to figure this out without looking at the hidden folders/files?
