The possible performance problem arises because the GUI must go to the actual file system to get the book file sizes.
The column contents will look something like this. |
2 things,
First, thanks for that column. I might add it.
Second, regarding the performance penalty, will that happen if don't have the column showing? I might just create it, and delete it as needed. I would only use it when checking the library. I don't know how many times I came across a file containing books that were either samples, or unexpectedly short because the file contained the cover and nothing else (happens when I add blank books from Goodreads). Knowing if a book is too small in size is a great indicator of something wrong. If it's mixed in with other formats, then I can't tell.
I will try the column. Thanks!
