Now while all that is good, what I would like to know is why only it gives best info. and not file size info. as it does for the rest of them. It would make things whole lot easier. At times I have to be careful about my hdd so having the file size contents usually makes it easier to make choices. I know I could make educated guess using something like 136+140 or something. Looking forward to know more if I could have more info. about file size than just best, thank you.
