Tree size calculation behavior

I downloaded ViceVersa PRO v6 build 6010 64-bit and tried to use it.
Here is a test I created: a folder with a subfolder, which contains some files.
If the right part contains a completely empty folder, it shows total size of files and if I collapse the folder it shows 0 - that is correct.
But if the right part contains subfolder (even without files) and I collapse the subfolder the total size of files becomes 0 (that is also correct) abut if I press the green mark button (or select "Only single" in the View mode) the total size of files is not 0 anymore but the total size of files in the collapsed subfolder - that is really misleading.

Sorry, can't find a way to attach screenshots and even one link to other site is not allowed.

Hi, thank you for evaluating ViceVersa PRO!

The count of files and folders, and the total file size shown, are related to the actual files and folders visible in the side-by-side comparison. So it will change based on selection.

If you can, please send screenshot to support via e-mail for us to review, thank you

Unfortunately, the forum does not allow to post pictures - it says either "Sorry, too many links to other websites in this post." or "Sorry, external links to other websites not allowed."
So I just post URLs, where you need to replace "_" symbol with "/"
If there is some other way to post a picture correctly - please tell me.

Here are the links to following screenshots:
1. ibb.co_Kj51y2Q Start - everything works fine
2. ibb.co_7XFfDxW Right side contains a subfolder
3. ibb.co_tLsRdpp Collapsed folder, total size not zero

Hi, yes, I see the issue with the stats, thanks.
If a folder is just a "place holder" then this issue might happen.
Subfolder1 should not be in the view, because there is a matched folder Subfolder1 on the target side and matched objects are deselected.
However it is shown because it contains unmatched files. But it is also collapsed. So the error in the counting happens. If you expand Subfolder1 the count will be OK.
I have added this issue to the to our list to investigate further. Thank you for the report.
Please note that the fact that the count does not match the view, this will not impact any other functionality.
thanks!

In a "limited backup space available" situation I need to understand which subfolders will fit on the target drive.
So if I collapse all the subfolders it would be very convenient to get zero total size and then gradually expand the subfolders one-by-one and see the total size increase.
I will wait for the new version and hope that the problem can be solved.
Thank you in advance!
