Size on disk vs. Size

Hi.

When using windirstat on a volume using MS Dedupe, windirstat uses the Size on disk attribute. Because of the dedupe, this value is unusable. It would be nice to be able to switch between with attribute windirstat uses, when calculating space usage.

This would be helpful for applications that stub files. Stubbed files always take 4K on disk, where size shows the actual size of the file if it were fully downloaded. I would like to know what the size of a directory would be were I to download all of the content.
