#281 Option to enable the ability to view folder file sizes in Windows Explorer
Please add an option to enable the ability to view folder file sizes in Windows Explorer, it would greatly alleviate situations where I'm dealing with multiple ambiguously named folders like Steam's User Data folders for example.
I want to be able to easily identify folders containing lots of data, that way I can delete all the small folders and not have to redownload as much when reinstalling Steam! There are of course other needs for this, but this is the primary need for it.
And I'm aware of the performance impact of such a feature, hence making it an option.

Microsoft removed the API for showing folder sizes in Windows 7/8/Vista Explorer so it is no longer possible to show folder sizes in a column in Details view. Use a third party app such as FileMenu Tools to calculate size of folders.
