Yes -- hold down the Option key to turn Get Info into Get Quick Info, which does not calculate folder sizes.
Thanks,

Thanks Jim. Guess I should read the docs more thoroughly.
I wonder if the default action should be not to list directory size? I can't speak for others, but I seldom need to know the size of the directory but primarily just need to change permissions or rename it. Just a thought. Or a toggle in prefs would be cool.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the feedback, we'll take it into consideration when working on future versions of Fetch.

I'm assuming that the reason that Get Info might take a long time is so it can tally up all the files sizes to report a directory size...but 99.9% of the time, I don't care about folder size, I just want to be able to change permissions. I don't like the long wait. Is there a way around this that I'm missing?
