+ <!-- Thanks to Heiner Eichmann -->
+ <para>There are two ways to calculate the occupied space of
+ files/directories.
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Pressing the
+ <keycap>SPACE</keycap> on a directory under the cursor
+ instantly calculates the occupied size. Pressing
+ <keycap>SPACE</keycap> a second time will toggle the selection
+ of the directory without affecting the selection status of
+ other files/directories.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>To calculate how much disk space is occupied by the
+ selected files and directories in the active panel select
+ <emphasis role="bold">
+ <menuchoice>
+ <guimenu>File</guimenu>
+ <guimenuitem>Calculate Occupied Space</guimenuitem>
+ </menuchoice>
+ </emphasis>. After a small delay, a dialog box will be
+ displayed with total occupied space and the number of files
+ and directories you selected. The space occupied by every
+ selected directory will be shown as if the user just pressed
+ <keycap>SPACE</keycap> on those directories. If the active
+ panel is browsing an archive, the numbers will apply to the
+ unpacked size of the selected files and directories, not
+ their compressed size. After the calculation the selection
+ state will be toggled and the cursor will move one step
+ downwards.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>Calculating the occupied space on remote
+ file systems is supported.
+ <note>
+ <para>Performing this operation on a very large file system
+ (thousands of files) may be time-consuming. You can cancel the
+ calculation process at any time by clicking the
+ <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> button.</para>
