strange ْxy calculates size of the Windows folder before calculates current folder. I guess it calculates the entire drive because it takes much time
does not happen in a fresh instance

Well, XY does what you tell it to do.

You maybe should cache your folder sizes...

So why this message does not appear in a fresh instance?
after several experiments, I found Apply list styles globally [Styles] is the culprit.
apply it after fresh install and the message will began to show
exit xy, delete <xydata>\Panes and the calculate folder size will return to act normal

But that is not the only setting you change in a fresh instance? What other things did you change?

It is the only setting. I kept trying until I reached this result

I don't get it. Folder Size Calculation is not triggered just by changing this setting.

to guarantee we're talking about the same thing
you tried [show Folder Sizes] on Size column menu ?
sorry for bugging you a lot in this topic
