How do I show a folder’s size in the _size_ column in the _detail_ view? Right now it’s blank for folders. I need to free up space on my computer by finding the biggest folders.

I am aware that I can hover over the folder and wait 2 seconds for the size to popup, but that is not convenient - as is right click \> properties.
