** Description changed: - There appears to be no way to see a folder's size; that is, the total - size of all files and folders it contains. This is an extremely useful - and basic feature of a file manager; both Windows and macOS provide it - by default. + Nautilus can display a folder's number of items beneath it, but not its + actual size; that is, the total size of all files and folders it + contains. For large folders it could take some time to measure its size, but this is not a big deal; it can be cached periodically, or just take a few - seconds to display after the user views the folder. (The latter is how - macOS handles it, and if even Apple with their very "polish-focused" - approach to design considers this an acceptable hit to UX given the - importance of the feature, I don't see any reason why Linux should avoid - it.) + seconds to display after the user views the folder.
