Hi Graham
    Nautilus 2.26.2 shows folder and file sizes
       For folders, select the folder then go to File>Properties and the 
folder size is given as the number of files and the total size in KB.
       For files first make sure the files are displayed in 'List' form 
then go to 'View'>'Visible Columns' and make sure 'Size' is checked.

Hope this helps
