XnView Software

It would be nice to show folder size as well as file size in the size column.

This process can be very long!

Thanks for the reply xnview.

What a shame it's not as easy as one would think. It seems XnView is getting closer and closer to being an Explorer replacement so this option would be really handy. There's a small program called Folder Size that is a Windows Explorer extension. Maybe XnView could be designed to incorporate it if it was easier: http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/

Hello !

• “Cobbler, stick to your last!”… Like Pierre says above, it's very long when you have a big folder
(or a drive root) containing a mountain of pretty full sub-folders…

- That function is in Total Commander (not specially slow as F.M.), and that takes ages in the above-mentioned cases.
- TC has plugins to perform the same function with more details¦other units and the like, but it's not that faster…

Thanks Clo

When xnview said "This process can be very long!" I thought that meant the programming required to make this function available not the time it takes to display the size of large folders/sub folders.

I know it takes a long time but I wasn't asking for speed. And if it was available as an option (like freeCommander) and not a default within the program, then people could decide whether they wanted to use it and put up with the time it takes to display the information.
