Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
In the UI right now, I have to add up the sizes of all the files myself, which when working with large firmware images that have nested extractions or filesystems, makes it very hard to tell what is what. Being able to see whether a folder is 10 gigs or 64 bytes would be great UX wise.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
No.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Not really.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the UI code that renders folder entries and the existing file-size display, then determine how nested folder totals should be calculated. Done means the UI shows a size for each folder and the result is correct for nested extractions and filesystems.
