2088	"""Show directory sizes"" usability regression versus 4.6.x"	alex_sh	zaytsev	"I upgraded to 4.7.1 from 4.6.2, and I noticed this huge (for me) usability regression regarding ""Show directory sizes"" feature.

It seems that it was changed to show only the current directory size (like if you selected it in previous versions), and to show the sizes of all directories you have to scroll all the way to the top and do it on the "".."" entry.

This presents a huge usability regression. Consider the following:

I want to traverse a huge directory, one screenful of directories at a time, selecting the large ones (for example), and copying them to some other directory.

Previously, I would just f9-c-i, then select some directories, copy them, then f9-c-i again (because any action clears the sizes), select some more directories, etc...

Now I have to f9-c-i, select them, copy them, remember where I was (and I can't even select the directory I was on because it screws up the f9-c-i feature), scroll all the way to the top, press f9-c-i, then find the directory I was looking at (in a huge list of directories), and do the same each time mc clears the size fields. This clearly breaks the whole workflow.

This is especially a big pain when working with different mc versions on different servers (the alt-o change was already bad enough). So please, instead of changing the behavior of existing features, consider adding new shortcuts for the new ones and/or configuration options for them."	defect	accepted	major	Future Releases	mc-core	master			gotar@… zaytsev			no branch
