NEMO - Status Bar - Option for file count size (MB, GB, etc)

[AtomicRobotMan0101]

Currently Nemo will display the number of files and the quantity of free space in the status bar.

I'd consider an option to see the file size total there as well would be useful.

e.g. 31 items, Free space: 1.8 TB to become, 31 items, 31.8kB, Free Space: 1.8 TB

The second option is shown upon highlighting a number of files. It would be nice to see this as an optional default, selectable in preferences.

WHY?

I often dump out data and seeing the totals as I noodle around would be useful.

WHAT have I tried.

I wrote out a rather elaborate script using https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo-extensions/tree/master/nemo-python but for the life of me I could not get the script to call the correct (?) method/hook to get the thing to display.

What it doesn't need

It only needs to be the files in the current directory, not all the subs. One can use du for that.

Thanks

Thank you cognoscenti and devs. I love NEMO, its most excellent.
