Show Estimated File Size in Media Download Wizard

📋 Summary

Add an estimated total download size to the media download wizard so users can see how much disk space selected media will require before downloading.

❗ Problem

When downloading media for games, users can select many image and video types, but there is no clear indication of how large the download will be.

This can cause issues because:

• Large media downloads can consume significant disk space

• Users may not know the impact of selecting videos, high quality images, or multiple media types

• Downloads can be started without realizing the required storage space

• Users with limited drives may need to cancel or manually clean up afterward

💡 Proposal

Display file size information in the media download wizard:

• Show the estimated total size of all selected media

• Optionally break down size by media type, such as:

  • Images

  • Videos

  • Manuals

  • Music

• Update the estimate as users change their selections

• Warn users if the download may exceed available disk space

🧩 Use Cases

• A user sees that selecting videos will add several gigabytes before starting

• A user with limited storage adjusts media selections to stay within available space

• A user compares image only vs image plus video download sizes

• Large collection imports become easier to plan

📦 Benefits

• Helps users manage disk space more effectively

• Prevents unexpected large downloads

• Improves transparency in the media download process

• Reduces cancelled downloads and post-download cleanup

⚠️ Considerations

• File sizes may need to be estimated before download

• Estimates should clearly be marked as approximate if exact sizes are unavailable

• Available disk space checks could be added as an optional enhancement
