This requires that GC always should calculate the tree size of a
directory when selected. That is not a good idea since it can take quite
some time.

And if we don't know the size of a directory, how are we supposed to
have an accurate display of the total size of all selected entries?

This is why we show only the selected files ATM.

True, this is to risky to fix in the stable tree though. I'll add it to
the 1.1 TODO.

Look at the file keys.txt included in the tarball. There is a shortcut
for this: SHIFT+ALT+ENTER

It would be hard to include menu-items for all those shortcuts.
