Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.
When you navigate into a folder junction or directory symbolic link whose target is on a different drive, would it be possible to have the status bar show the free space of the target drive rather than the location of the junction/link?
Show Free space in target of junction/link?

if you want to see the real free space, instead of ENTER press CTRL+L to enter the linked folder
(GOTO > FIND TARGET menu command)

Of course.
But I'd like to see the free space without having to go into the target.

that kind of thing requires some CPU effort
so you want to burden all the good people's computers that don't have a clue what a folder junction is, on a constant basis and repeatedly, to satisfy your personal fetishes?

Well, I was thinking maybe it could be one of those advanced options that I could turn on to satisfy my personal fetishes without burdening everyone else.
But if I'm the only that would use this, forget it.

Cool!
One more note should this someday considered as worthy of adding as an option:
It would need to find the free space of the ultimate target rather than the immediate target in the case that the target of a junction is another junction.

I think ctrl+L command already tackles this situation (?)
