Mike Finder windows refresh without me doing anything other than opening a new window! If I click on a drive icon in the Finder window, the size of the drive is shown at the bottom of the window and the size of all the folders in the right window. If I add files to the drive, the size is updated as soon as the file transfer has completed. The folder sizes in the Size column are also updated automatically when files are added. In fact, I just tried FinderRefresh (I may have not set it correctly) in case I was missing something but it showed some folders as having -- KB when there was anything from 50mb to half a gig in the folders. I quit FinderRefresh and the Size column immediately showed the size of the folders. Unless I grossly misunderstood what you wanted to do, I can't see a reason for adding anything to the OS. However, Jonathan B. Jacobs, PhD, the author of the FinderRefresh script seems to think it's needed. Could it be a PhD doesn't know how to setup Finder's prefs so that it automatically updates drive and folder sizes?... The only "bug" that I can see, more of an oversight, is not including an option in Finder View Options that lets you set "Calculate All Sizes" for all folders & drives in one go; you have to do them one at a time but once done the sizes will update automatically for specified drives and folders.
