Folder size

[John]

Someone in the past few days asked how to find the size
of folders. I have looked and can not find the message.

To get size/volume move cursor over the folder icon and
it will appear in a tooltip window. It tooltips is "on".

I know some users will consider this trival but I can
not find the original post.
