I posted this in krusader-users, but then I found feature requests here, I so am posting it here, too, with some clarifications.
In the file list panel, I noticed that the menu option
Edit>Calculate Occupied Space when used on directories works very
quickly, even on large directories! This is great!
My request is:
Provide
an option to automatically Calculate Occupied Space on directories in
the file list panel. The number could be displayed in red until the
occupied space is finished being calculated, to notify the user in case a directory is
taking a long time (although I have not yet encountered this). Also,
right-clicking on the size value, when red, would allow the user to
"Stop calculating", just in case. A general "Stop calculating" for all directories at once would also be useful.
