Feature: Better file sizes in Explorer details

[fredystar200]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Via "Everything" integration
Everything is a search engine that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows. It's a great tool which is useful on its own, but it can also be used with this mod to instantly get folder sizes without having to calculate them manually.

Thank you for your feedback. Everything Search indexes the entire file system on startup as opposed to on Files which only loads the data as needed. Th downside of that approach is that ff the data changes, users need to manually trigger an option rebuild the database. This is not ideal for Files which requires up to date information, however we are working on faster performance and progress is being tracked in #4180.
