well i dont really know how to explain this, so i took some pictures.

in this picture: you see under the hardr drive icon it says "19.07 GB, 3.36 GB free."
now in this picture: it says under the hard drive icon only "19.07." i was wondering if anyone knew how to get that ", xx.xx GB free" back. thanks a bunch!

Try toggling off and back on the "Show item info" option in the View -> Show View Options panel.

if safari v80 is a fake release its a pretty good one. anyway, i fixed the problem. somehow the hard drive's privileges were set to the system instead of me, and i guess i didnt have enough privileges to see how much hd space was remaining there?

Stalker1 my only problem with is that there is no "&" symbol so on websites like the forums, in the URL bar, there are spaces cause there is no "&." its really annoying. but i like the font anyway.

nah, priveleges should be for the system, group admin.. hrmm..

might try fixing permissions on your drive.. with disc utility

but, if you are the only user, I suppose things might be okay.. though it really should be the system that owns the drive
