As mentioned in my response to Peter, that's a ZEP not related to the Alt-KByte function.

Agree. To be implemented, that would need to be defined.

While it certainly provides an additional view, I find it highly illogical and fail to see how useful it is to show the size only if the directory happens to have a subdirectory.

Again, IMHO, that's a ZEP for another thread.
