@Don: Do you mind putting "Show folder sizes in file list" option on the "calculate folder sizes" button right-click? I think they are like twin brothers.

I don't (mind).

Thanks.

Great, thanks again. Very useful.

Well, I have a "problem" with this context menu... I see you've added there "Show Space Used", the same option as menu View|Size Column Format|Show Space Used

I don't think this is a good thing, because this option applies to List, and Size column (then renamed Space) and to both files and folders.

I think it'd be more appropriate to have here the same as option "Report the disk space used" from ConfigGeneral, which does apply only to folders, either from option "Show Folder Sizes" or "Calculate Folder Sizes"

I find it okay as it is. It matches the View/Size Column Format menu and is about showing used space. To add "Report the disk space used" (which should be renamed to "... by folders" or so) here would be rather confusing I think.

I strongly disagree here, because :
- It matches the View/Size Column Format menu indeed, the only problem is that this menu relates to the List and its columns, so it's entirely logic here to have options relating to the List and its columns (!)

- How could it be confusing to put under CFS an option that only relates to CFS (and its sister, permanent-CFS, or Show Folder Sizes) as opposed to an option that relates to the List, files and folders, and not just the CFS feature ?

- I find it even more confusing now, because it makes people think that there's only one option to show space (as opposed to size), one single option available in menu View/Size Column Format, on CFS ctxt menu on TB, or on Config under "Report the disk space used"
One could even think it's a bug that Config doesn't translate the state of the menus. Only it's not a bug, those are NOT the same feature !! How could it not be confusing that under CFS is not the option relating to CFS only, but the more global one relating to the List column Size (and, rightly so, found on the column's ctxt menu) !??

Edit: What I'm saying here is not add "Report the disk space used", but put that instead of the current Show Space Used, which doesn't belong here.
