Configuration | General | Show folder size on Properties tab

Does anybody use this functionality? I think about downgrading it to tweak level...

I think tweaks should be used for "real" tweaks only and not for such common configuration settings...

At least as long as tweaks are in ini only without an GUI.
Because it's hard to find such useful settings in the ini for users.

I would never think "there must be an option like this, lets search the ini", rather i would search the config dialog.
That there is such thing as "tweaks in ini" an new user have to know first.

O.K., in the meantime i know this... but <see first line above> :D


Back to topic: i would like to disable/enable this "on the fly" >> so i vote for let it stay in the menu.

This particular feature does not fit very well into the general architecture of XY, I have to go lots of hoops and loops to make it work. Actually I would prefer to remove it...

Me! I use it! :)
I also use it all the time! I think it should stay on GUI.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.
