Want free space shown in nautilus

In earlier versions Nautilus had an option (maybe it was even by default?) to permanetly show the free space of the current partition in the lower corner!

Is it possible to get this behaviour back? I searched already quite a while, but I couldn't even find someone else with the same wish! Am I the only one missing this feature?

Re: Want free space shown in nautilus

Once Nautilus loses a feature, it's gone. You can try comparing the sources with older versions, but I guess the time saved by having such a bar would be far less than the time required to patch and recompile Nautilus on every update.

You can use Caja, a fork of Nautilus which still shows the free space in the lower corner.
