Hi Don'
I agree with you, that that message should not impact at all.
And yet, as you can see from my message above, there is a *small* but perceptable slowdown. (this is a folder with 3 subfolders each containing 497 files).
But I wouldn't persue it too much, as the difference is too small to worry about.
Will wait until I get 0111 and do the test again.

I know now what it probably is resp. was: when there are no selections in the list, the drive's used and free bytes are displayed and therefore
re-calculated each statusbar flash. Also the icon changes. All this takes the time.

Hi Don;
Actually in this case, the top folder of the three folders selected is showing in the statusbar, not the drive info.

Ah, okay. Well, as you said: let's leave it like this.

Hi Don;
Just an addendum to this,
I notice that you took out the 'Getting folder size ... (ESC) message in the statusbar, (I just download 0119. (I missed 0113) ). I also notice no more slight pauses anymore as well.
Thanks
