Folder tooltip...

Post by latheofheaven »

Hi!

Is there any way to show the SIZE of the contents of a folder through the folder tooltip? The FILE tooltips are pretty configurable as far as what you want the tooltip to show, but I cannot find a way to show the folder SIZE. I do kind of miss that with Explorer, because I can hover over any folder and immediately know the size of the contents. This is handy with, say, movie files because sometimes I just quickly want to know how big the movie is within the folder, or if it is a music folder, what is the size of the album in the folder. Now, I HAVE to click on the folder and actually look inside of each one or right-click and hit 'Properties', which is a bit of a nuisance.

HOPEFULLY, there is a way to do this...

Thanks!

Oh, it shows on the Status Bar... I guess I was expecting to see it on the tooltip. I'll give that a try. I don't quite understand the 2nd way, and it kind of looks like a couple of steps to see it, but I will try both ways.

Thank you!
