Show cumulative directory size in status bar

[fn-ix]

Hello! I would like to know if it's possible to show the cumulative size (files plus folders) of the current directory in the status bar as opposed to just the sum file size.

Maybe with the autoupdate_cumulative_size option or the command.

[fn-ix]

I set in the config and it made no difference. I believe this was discussed before in #540.

[toonn]

You set the option and ran dc?

[fn-ix]

Well, dc just shows the cumulative size for the active selection; I would like the size indicator in the status bar in the bottom to show the cumulative size for the current folder as opposed to just the total file size.

[toonn]

Yeah but does it not after you press dc?

[fn-ix]

No, it only applies to the selected folders; there's no change in the status bar. In terms of functionality, of course I can just go up one level and dc the folder I want, but I would like to see it by default for the current folder in the status bar. I guess a bottleneck can be the indexing, as running dc on a large folder can visibly take some time.

dc updates left side of the status bar with the size of the current folder.

Left side of status bar before dc.

Left side of status bar after dc.

The problem now that there is no way to get back to file count.
