Navigating through papermerger, I need to know if a folder is empty before deleting etc. Currently having to enter the folder then exit it to check.

Describe the solution you'd like
Column in List view which displays the folder sizes

Hi @AlexanderEDavis,

Your suggestion definitely makes sense. However, this feature it is a little bit more tricky to implement correctly - the reason is that folders are recursive in nature and whenever a new document is added/removed the size field need to be recursively updated.
I will make sure that this feature will be part of 1.6 release (planned for late November 2020).

Thank you for opening this feature request!
