Normally if you look at your Finder, the column ‘size’ for folders will show ‘-’. Occasionally, for example when you want to see which folders take up the most space so you can free them up, you would want to see the size of those folders.
So, here is how to do that:
1. On the Finder menu, click on View -> Show View Options (or Command-J).
2. The ‘View Options‘ will be shown as below.
3. Now the only thing you need to do is tick the checkbox next to ‘Calculate all sizes’, and your Mac will start calculating and showing folders sizes.
Enjoy!

I dont wanna change the view to a list view to know the item info? also why it doesnt show image dimension? though I like mac more than windows but i guess windows explorer is far better than finder though internet explorer still suck big time
In my view options the size and calculate size options are not active, why is that?
Marc, try to highlight your folder and select View Options for that folder.
