Size tooltips in folders?

How to enable "Size" option tooltip in folders. It seems currently it only shows filesize in tooltips. I don't want to enable the folder size option in listbox.
Second is there any option to disable that "Full Name length" in tooltip. It's very annoying to waste space in one field which i don't require.
Thanks

2 times "no" (currently).
1. would take quite long with large folders (as you see in Explorer...)
2. I'll see if I can add than to that "file info tip fields" list.

Like Don said: big sized folders take long in tooltip. But there are more ways in XY:
1. you can get folder sizes from properties tab in info panel.
2. If you are on properties tab, then clicking the folder will show the size in size column.
3. You can use shift+f5 for folder sizes. Preselect folders before shift+f5 if you want sizes for only the selected ones.

Thanks for the quick replies. I will eventually learn to use it
I have come to check this after trying all those so called xplorer replacements. Big names but not so impressive for me. I hope it turns out to be winner

By the way, Don, now that we have the Len column in the listview, can you change the Full Name Length in the InfoTip of the file to show the files length only, not the path/file length?
Sometimes I want to know the file names length only, especially with very long filenames.
Thanks

Seems a good idea...but...How about showing both? Maybe via "Full/Name Length: xx/xx characters" format? Ok, so it might need just a tiny bit of explanation, but something along those lines would satisfy both needs.

Also, the now called "Len (Full Path)" field now shows the length
of the filename and the length of the full path/file (in
parentheses).

And again, thanks for this. Next day addition, *fast*
