(calculating size of selected objects is planned for version 2.0). all the best, carsten it could maybe also be a help for your readers to mention liquifile (www.liquifile.info) here. it does not only show you the sizes by number, but it is also vizualizing them. in addition it calculates the number of objects that are within folders/subfolders. if you flatten folters you will also spot the big files that are hidden deep within complex folder hierarchies.

Shouldn't that get a mention? Press Option-Command-I to get the inspector window, then click on any file or folder. However it doesn't tell you how many items inside each folder, only the total size, and the number of items you have selected. So if you're in a folder filled with multiple file types, say a mixture of JPEGs and PDFs, and you want to know how much room the JPEGs are taking up, change to List View and sort by Type. Then select all the JPEGs and press Option-Command-I to see the inspector window. What about the Inspector? Shouldn’t that get a mention?
