how to add Folder Size column?

#1 Post by coyote » 27.09.2014, 18:33

How do I add a column which displays Folder Size? I can't live without this on my new Win7Pro32-bit OS.

I figure the only reason that in FC on my WinXP Pro OS, I've got a "Folder Size" column in the Windows section of "Add/Remove columns...", is that I'd previously installed "Folder Size for Windows" from foldersize.sourceforge.net/ ...which won't work on Win7.

Both are FC version XE 2014 b650. Please help, I can't live without a sortable column displaying the size of folders!

p.s. I'm vaguely aware there may be some fuzziness/overlap in Win7 folder sizes, but I don't mind.

Thank you very much for your reply, Timon. I was just about to post that I see that a number of FC columns (SizeAuto, Size Bytes, Size kB, and Size MB) all do what I want. And now thanks to you I see that Alt+F9 toggles the display of size info for folders on/off for these columns.

It turns out that "Size kB" replicates what I'm used to seeing from that WinXP Explorer addon, which perhaps is why I prefer and have chosen it.
