Calculate and display directory size #6160

What's the Problem?

I don't know what the size of any folder is in any view

Solution/Idea

Like macOS has been doing for 30 years, setting to calculate size of all folders, so that in details view and in the preview pane it will display the folder size, if a music folder has 22GB of tunes in there, I want details view to show me a size column and this will be numerical in either MB GB or TB.

We've has SSD's on SATA and NVMe for years now, they are fast enough to calculate size of folder contents.

Alternatives

use a real OS...macOS
