For a directoty it does make sense, as a directory can be located on a device 
different from its parent or sister directory (think on mounts).
For a file it was useless and is already removed in current CVS.

If you have a look at current CVS you'll see that I added a bar showing the 
fill grade in the "Device" tab.
This tab also shows the free space and the percentage of used space.
See attached screenshot.

If you want to have an overview, you can have a look in kinfocenter/Storage 
Devices or kwikdisk/kdiskfree
