Public bug reported:

For me it would be nice to have the option to enable recursive file-size 
display in the default-view of thunar.
When searching why a bunch of nested folders needs so much memory, it's always 
a pain to right-click each single folder and its sub-folders to see the total 
size. ( As painful as using du + cd in the console )
For this use-case it would be much more convenient to directly see the 
total-size in the thunar default-view.

I am aware of the ext4 / inode problem ( circular file-system
references) , that's why I would disable the feature on default and
allow to enable it in the thunar-preferences.

If you agree with me, I would take care for the implementation and
provide a patch.
