What the rule on this?
I have the command j box set for that checked, yet you open a window and the sizes for files/folders are not there, or sometimes there? or need a few minutes to be there? Why is it so much trouble to have this visible at all times? Is would be so nice.

It takes time for the Finder to look inside all the nested folders and add up the sizes. They'll show up as it calculates them.

and it needs then to do it everytime? I don't think command J thing works to well. I select calculate size, then see it unchecked later.
