Count the size of selected directories only

[ts4242]

To calculate the size of individual dirs, I have to press <Space> key on each dir. A new command cm_CountSelectedDirContent would be great.

Hello !

I know cm_CountDirContent, my proposal command's name has taken from it cm_CountSelectedDirContent

The problem is that, I have folder contains huge subfolders and I want to calculate the size of some subfolders only, cm_CountDirContent waste my time and pressing <Space> key is very boring specially if the selected folders are not continues.

You can find a detailed description how this can be achieved using the content plugin DirSizeCalc:

Very nice, Thank you

Anyway, implementing cm_CountSelectedDirContent is very simple, so I hope to find it in TC.

I guess the better way would be to make tc.Size work as on demand field for folders so it supports cm_LoadSelOnDemandFields.
It's strange to have one command for custom columns and one for the long view.
