Info:

As you can see, the classic status bar can still be used to display a variety of helpful file information. Without losing the overview in the file management. If it is only about the size of the folder I recommend my work: MeinPlatz  that is a real turbo when it comes to folder sizes. 






4.) Folder size in the status bar even without Quad Explorer?




The ability to display the size of a folder in the status bar depends on your computer's operating system and file management system. Here are instructions for some popular operating systems:


Windows:
Open the folder whose size you want to view.
Right-click the folder and select "Properties" from the context menu.
In the properties window, the size of the folder is displayed in the "General" tab.

macOS:
Open the folder you want to check.

Click View at the top of the screen and select Item Info. Alternatively, you can also press "Command + I".
The size of the folder is displayed in the information window.

Linux (GNOME Desktop Environment):

Open the folder you want to view the size of.

The folder information window displays the size of the folder.

Linux (KDE desktop environment):

Open the folder you want to view the size of.
Right-click the folder and select "Properties" from the context menu.
The size of the folder is displayed in the properties window.



In most modern operating systems you should be able to view folder size this way. Note that some third-party file management programs may also provide advanced functionality for displaying folder sizes in the status bar.



Makes sense like that!


Displaying the folder size in the status bar can be useful in certain situations. However, it depends on individual needs and work habits. Here are some situations where this can be useful:


Disk space management:
If you want to monitor the available disk space on your computer and make sure you aren't taking up too much space with files and folders, viewing folder size can be helpful.

File management:
If you want to find large files or folders that take up a lot of space, viewing the folder size makes it easier for you to identify them and organize or delete them if necessary.

Backup scheduling:
When scheduling backups or transferring files to other drives, it's helpful to know how much space a folder takes up.

Organization:
If you want to sort folders by size or optimize the structure of your files, the folder size display can be a useful tool.


However, it is important to note that not every user needs to check folder size regularly, and in many cases just occasionally checking the size of files or folders is enough. The decision as to whether displaying the folder size in the status bar makes sense depends on your individual requirements and how you work. If you regularly work with large files or many files and disk space management is important, this may be useful for you.
