User should be able to disable this feature. Sometimes it's useful, but mostly it can be rather annoying. So I think a "Skip" button would be very useful besides the "abort" button when directory scanning is in progress.

I want midnight commander to delete files, and I hate waiting several minutes only to know that the delete operation will take another few minutes.

Skipping counting over particular directory might be nice feature indeed (not aborting entire operation).

However your 'delete' problem is resolved eons ago - just disable 'Compute totals'.

Replying to gotar:

I don't think so. What is it useful for? Total size and number of files you can see in the copy/move progress dialog immediately after directory scan.

Replying to andrew_b:

I don't think so. What is it useful for?

To know that I've marked already too much and wish to abort now.
To have _some_ idea about progress (knowing my disk size, or expecting some value around sth).
To see that network connection has stalled or is too slow to continue (so I should abort).

Otherwise - what's the point of printing currently scanned directory name? It flashes anyway, so noone would read it's name anyway.

Total size and number of files you can see in the copy/move progress dialog immediately after directory scan.

'Immediately after' might be 2 minutes or 200 minutes from the beginning or any moment meanwhile scanning.

Oh, and this ticket is about Show Directory Sizes _command_ - ctrl-space, not option used for file operations.

To make some visualization of process: we are doing something but not hanging.

The 'Skip' button will be added as requested above.

The code of dir scan is same in both cases.

The same reason is valid for counts - it's even better, as we see actually growing numbers, not rapidly changing and unreadable names of something deep deep in directory tree.

I've got storages that took half an hour to scan, while most of this time was wasted on some /var/spool/whatever-zillion-small-or-0-sized-files. Size printed _while_ scanning might be enough in some cases ('ok, THIS ate my missing TB').
