Finding Size Of Folders Quickly Without Using Additional Apps?
Occasionally I need to find which are the largest items in a folder containing maybe 50 or more files/folders.
Clicking the "Size" column header instantly sorts out the files into order of size, but the folders, which may contain many gigabytes of material, do not register as having any size.
I can of course open each folder but as there are often a great many this would be time-consuming and tedious.
Is there a quick way round this problem which will enable me to either view the sizes of all the folders or at least open them all so that the sizes of the files contained can be seen.
Note that I have several apps (WhatSize etc.) for sorting out the size of every file on the computer but these tend to take some time.
I want to know if there is a simple, instantaneous way, not involving having to open another app.
