[quote="leo"]Folder size calculation normally only happens when you explicitly request it (e.g. via Edit \> Calculate Folder Sizes, or by hovering the mouse over a folder if the tooltip is configured to show the folder's size).

It can be set to happen automatically (see the [Folder size claculation FAQ](https://resource.dopus.com/t/calculate-folder-sizes-automatically/2064/1)) but you wouldn't normally want that as it causes lots of extra disk access for information that is usually not wanted.[/quote]  
Good to know, Leo. Thanks.

I have it configured exactly as shown in blueroly's post above (second post in this thread, first screen shot). Do I need to have the folder size calculation set to automatic in order for this folder label to work?
