561261 - Show addon size on disk in detail view

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Blair McBride [:Unfocused] (UNAVAILABLE)]

Should show the addon size on disk. Bug 553492 will add API support for this.

Note that bug 550048 now displays the 'size' and even can sort on it, but the actual value seems to be a random value (because 'Addon.size' is not available).
So, this has become a more visible issue.

Ben, I assume we will get the data from AMO, right? Should this block bug 569667?

Only for available addons - but that should be a separate bug.

This bug is just for installed addons - and the value should be based on how much actual disk space the addon is taking up (rather than just the size of the XPI). See bug 553492 for adding this functionality to the API (which blocks this).

Blocking in terms of either fixing or removing this field, but we'll probably do the former.

Addon size appears after clicking "Show more" in summary view, it still isn't shown in details view (after double-clicking an extension). Will wait to see if there's a difference after bug 553492 gets FIXED.

Yea, it should be shown in the detail view too.

With bug 553492 fixed, the size of the addon is now known (addon.size), but only displayed in the list view, but not in the detail view.
Added 'in detail view' to summary.

Fixed by bug 562902

Actually not fixed. We decided that the add-on size for installed add-ons wasn't really helpful and so it is not shown, it is shown for add-ons available to install though.
