Calculate selection occupied space

I think it would be more intuitive if "Calculate occupied space" acts only on the current selection, or on everything if nothing is selected. This would go in sync with the paradigm of "make a selection, perform an action, see the result".

That is already the case.

or on everything if nothing is selected.

Usually TC only acts on the file/folder under the cursor if nothing is selected, and that is also what "Calculate occupied space" does now.

Maybe I explained incorrectly. I was talking about what happens after Shift+Alt+Enter. At least for me it always applies to the entire list of directories.

Yes, it's always for all dirs. You can use Ctrl+L for the selected (summary only).

I know, I know. It wasn't really a question. It's a suggestion

If you call cm_ShowOnlySelected before pressing Alt+Shift+Enter you'll get what you want.

That's actually worse, usability-wise...

Btw, just for fun, I tried the Ctrl+L thing, and that's tooootally not what I wanted. It's next to useless: it gives some kind of alert box with all kinds of information that cannot even be selected or copied or anything. And it doesn't update the [Size] column like Alt+Shift+Enter does.
