RegulateCalcFolderSizes
The RegulateCalcFolderSizes script allows the user to enable the CalcFolderSizes option for a specific tab or source. It does this by reading a tab or source variable and settings the CalcFolderSizes option. As the user switches tabs it enables and disables the feature. The provided button sets the variable and refreshes the file display.
It was originally based on steje's Toggle automatic folder size calculation script:
The two scripts differ in the way that the folder calculation is triggered. The other script does not change the CalcFolderSizes option and instead calls the internal GetSizes command.
