Does the volume statistics area no longer exist in preferences? On Flame 2026.2.2 and I can’t find the list where you could see which projects are taking up the most space with number of video / audio frames etc.
The overall stats are in System>Storage. You can get individual project stats on the project management page under the manage button.
Major architectural change between 2025 and 2026. Storage became user managed per project.
I understand the backend changes, but annoying you can’t see a list of all the projects and their sizes.
Seems like there has to be some kind of command line command to extract this info… i did a quick look but have not found it yet
On 2026, every project has its own folder, so you can do a du -sh of the media cache folder to see the size of it.
Yes but I want to see all the projects and their respective sizes as you used to be able to do in every version of flame until now. That would tell me which jobs were eating up my space to archive first.
I’ve gotten in the habit of separating my setup folders and media folders in 2026+ projects. I have a parent folder that all media cache folders for projects are located in. With that, I can then type:
du -shk * | sort -rh
It will give me every project, its size, and sorted from largest to smallest
Not a flame function, but solves the problem. Of course flame function would be nicer.
If you still keep media cache folders and setups in a common parent, as is the default, you can still do the command above. It just gives you the combined size of everything in the project.
The pre-2026 project size comparator was always functionally worthless to us because it didn’t differentiate cached and uncached media. If you accidentally left a few unconsolidated, uncached early conforms it would tell you your project had hundreds of thousands of frames used in it, even though the actual framestore space used was much smaller.
If that is the case, what does the flame team see as a functional solution to understanding the state of the framestore in regards to available / unavailable space?
No clue. We gave up and moved to unmanaged using logik-projekt on lucidlink. It’s more work on the conform end, but amazing once it’s going and as a side benefit it massively deduped our storage usage. No more 9 TB of archives from wiring the same edits back and forth between machines. It’s come with its own share of growing pains but is going really well so far!
