I have upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 (F Fossa), but have noticed that the pie chart in the "properties" dialog box showing the storage space of a hard disk or externally mounted drive does not work. It just shows as all grey. The figures next to it are showing correctly. Is this a bug in the upgrade, or coincidence? Anything I can do to remedy it?

Thanks

Is there a way to change the date when a file was modified/created (which is shown in Nautilus or with the ls -l command)? Ideally I am looking for a command which can change the date/time stamps of a whole bunch of files to a certain amount of time earlier or later (e.g. +8 hours or -4 days etc.).

I am trying to restore a function that I had on my last box. It added a tab in the properties menu of any file called "Digests". From there I could choose any/all of the hash formats, click hash and it would generate said checksums right there.

What I am trying to find out is either the name of the package or acquire the location of it's installation.

I have started a thread on UbuntuForums pertaining to this already

In Nautilus, the Properties of a single item shows the size as:
a value rounded to one decimal place... nn.n KB, MB, GB...
followed by an exact byte count

For non-single items, Nautilus onlys show a rounded size.

(Single item)   Size:  1.4 GB (1501773824 bytes)

(Multi items)   Size:  5 items, totalling 1.4 GB
(directory)     Size:  5 items, totalling 1.4 GB

Is there some way to make Nautilus display the exact byte count in all situations?

I like the way the Properties dialog allows me to copy this size data, but I usually want to work with the exact size (not an approximation).

Konqueror shows the real size total, but It doesn't allow me to copy the value to to clipboard.

NB: The soluton zerwas provided (below) works nicely, except it reaches an integer maximum of 4,294967,296 bytes (4 GB)...
So for anyone reading this and interested to use this method, here is the ammended code, which caters for a "long long" integer... 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 bytes (8 EB.. E xaBytes).
The first line (/* new */) is at line-number 2337

/* new */   long long ll_total_size = total_size;
/* MOD */   size_str = g_format_size_for_display (ll_total_size);
/* MOD */   text = g_strdup_printf (ngettext("%'d item, with size %s (%lld bytes",
/* MOD */                    "%'d items, totalling %s (%lld bytes)",
/* ASIS */                   total_count),
/* MOD */               total_count, size_str, ll_total_size);

New displayed info: 

(Single item)   Size:  1.4 GB (1501773824 bytes)

(Multi items)   Size:  5 items, totalling 1.4 GB (1502027641 bytes)
(directory)     Size:  5 items, totalling 1.4 GB (1502027641 bytes)
