How do I have folder size ?

[Escartem]

I added a local storage source, a folder in the system, but it does not display the folder sizes, the index is already built. Is it possible to display the folder size and not just files ?

To display folder sizes in AlistGo/alist, you need to ensure that the feature is supported and properly configured. As of now, AlistGo/alist primarily focuses on displaying file sizes, and folder sizes might not be directly supported or displayed by default.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot or explore this further:

1. Check Configuration: Ensure that your configuration settings are correct and that there are no restrictions or settings that might prevent folder sizes from being displayed.

2. Update AlistGo/alist: Make sure you are using the latest version of AlistGo/alist, as new features and bug fixes are regularly added.

3. Community and Documentation: Check the official documentation or community discussions for any updates or plugins that might support folder size display.

4. Feature Request: If folder size display is not currently supported, consider submitting a feature request to the AlistGo/alist development team for future consideration.

If you need further assistance or have specific configuration questions, feel free to ask!

If the folder size is required, it will cause alist to always calculate the directory size

why can't it precompute them ? like it builds the index for searching it can build it for sizes, i don't bother
