root folder of filelist has wrong sharesize

[iceman50]

When opening my own filelist the root directory shows a larger sharesize than what is reported by ShareManager::getShareSize()

[Fredrik Ullner (ullner)]

getShareSize ignores duplicate files. The file list size, I presume, includes duplicates. Therefore, the funtionality you are seeing is actually the intended behaviour.

There are two things that can be done; 1) mark this report as invalid (though, possibly adding information in the help file) or 2) make sure that duplicates are included in the size. Or, possibly, 3) have one label stating unique share size and one stating total share size.

Option number 3 seems to be the best ... maybe something like "Sharesize: ## (including dupes: ##)"

#3 sounds good but it would A) require caching (file lists are sensitive to performance) and B) be confusing for most people. it is the best option in my eyes, but has to be done right.
