[Bug 1258393] Re: filesize compress wrong hidden

[Quinn Balazs]

You're eventually going to have to look at the hidden files. You can
toggle whether files/folders are hidden in nautilus by pressing Ctrl+H.
I don't see how this is a cURL issue though... Since actual file browser
is doing what it should (not bothering about hidden files whilst they
are hidden), and the zip utility is doing what it should (giving you a
list of all files contained in the archive file), this isn't really a
bug. Thusly, this is invalidated in general.

** Changed in: curl (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  filesize compress wrong hidden

Status in “curl” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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?
