Hover Box shows incorrect folder size. It only calculates the files on the first sublevel.
If the limitation is intentional due to performance reasons, I think it's better not to show size at all than show misinformation.
------------------------------
Here is an alternative solution
Hover Box Folder Size: While the Hover Box is showing a folder contents preview you can cycle the size calculation depth (One Sublevel, Full Calculation, No Sizes) by pressing the "X" key.

2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Re: Hover Box misinforms about Folder Size
Though I like the switch idea, deep calculation takes too long for the Hover Box. 1st level is the only thing that an be done.
But you are right, the info is potentially misleading. I will prefix "Files: " to the bytes.
