What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

When you're navigating through folder, you probably don't need to know the size of every folder you see. So calculating only the size of the selected folder makes more sense to me. To optimize it even more we can calculate sizes on timeout of a timer, that start on a folder selection. For example you select a folder, wait for a second and then it start to calculate its size.

Requirements

  • Add an additional checkbox to the "Files & folders" settings page. Something like "Calculate only the selected folder"
  • Add another checkbox "Calculate on timeout"
