Thanks fgagnon for your intersting comments I'm unable to provide due to my lack of english.
As far as I understand what you said... I agree with you

Oh you may be right fgagnon because the computer I'm talking about is just a test software computer, a light one

I'll check it once more because when I checked it the first time, it took around 3MB on an old Dell PIII 500Mhz, also with 1GB of RAM.

Yes FolderSize is very fast to display sizes and take only 3MB of RAM which is not to much for me

Ok, thanks for all

Thank you nikos for this explanation. I though you could implement the way FolderSize works inside x². So if it is impossible, the best way to workaroud this, is what you told me to do : put the FolderSize column in lieu of the normal size column ? This is the only way to have both x² with all folde...

as explained x2 doesn't do that for your own good Why is it for our own good ? I can assure you FolderSize can do this very quickly (quite instantaneously) without taking too much resources. This is the only point which reduces x² ability to be the best explorer (with the impossibility to display B...

i meant you'll have to do some mental translation since KB/MB etc are hard-wired in x2 Ok, it's not a big deal :D But what about this ? :? And for the first point (all folders always automatically displayed with their sizes wherever they are located , as FolderSize is able to do, see screenshot), s...

or is there a bigger issue with the French translation/localisation ?

No this is it (as far  asI understand your sentence) :

8 bits = 1 Byte = 1 octet  (octo means 8 )
1 KB = 1 Ko
1 MB = 1 Mo
1 GB = 1 Go

That's all

you'll have to do a little translation yourself there ;) Are you talking of translating the column "Folder Size" to "Taille", or translating "Bytes" to "Octets" ? If this is the last point, how can I do this ? For the first point, Brio the developper of Folde...

No, the folder is shown instantly, only calculation of the size of the folder may take some time (but that's what you meant anyway, isn't it Wim ;) ) Not for all folders see here what I said about it : Thank you for your explanation nikos... and you're right : it works great. See below just after o...

So x² is the explorer I need but I still wish it could always automatically displays the folder size without using a shell extension

Oops
Sorry for that dumb question...

Thank you Starsurfer for your answer

I do not know x² as wels as I wish.

Is there a way to change size in bytes to KB, MB ou GB ?

Please add parent button directly just above each pane, it will accelerate folder browsing.  Thanks.

you mean like, reinvent the wheel?
x2 works with your shell not against it!

No I mean : this complete and reliable feature to work without the need of an optional shell for xplorer², in other words, by design.
