Right now volume-related information is shown on the General page for all folders that
are inside a volume. This is confusing because everything else on that page is
contextually-relevant to the actual item whose properties you're looking at.
With this patch, volume-related properties will only be shown when looking at the
properties of the root level of a mounted volume.

It's not very accurate though. The free space is a property of the underlying volume, not the folder you happen to be looking at.
Perhaps, but right clicking on my HOME will then give me no information as it's not a separate mount.
Don't you already have the free space information in the status bar though?
Isn't that supposed to be removed by default in that ominous Dolphin redesign?
I agree with this change as long as there is some other way to see the used/free space for the partition that contains the folder the user is browsing through. In this case, it's the capacity bar at the bottom.
In the status bar of what?
Please remember that the properties dialog is a general dialog offered by the KIO framework, and it can be used perfectly outside of dolphin. Removing pieces of information just because "dolphin has them" is not a good option, especially if you want to make KDE frameworks really friendly outside of the KDE project.

The free space is contextually-relevant to the actual item: it is the free space available to add any content in that directory.
-1 for me, which I happen to use that from time to time.
That's a good point. Another app using KIO isn't necessarily going to have a different way to show the current amount of free space. I can see now that the KDialog file picker doesn't have another way to show the amount of free/used space.
