Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a large collection of images taken in various formats (including several hundred scans from transparencies) over many years which I'm trying to organise. When looking at either identical or visually very similar images it's important for me to be able to quickly see which is the largest file size so that I can keep it and delete the others.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be extremely useful if a variable $(FILE_SIZE) could be implemented so that I can add this to the thumbnail tooltip variable string and see at a glance which of two or more files is largest. Thanks!
