In v1.2.4 the file size will be displayed for all cached files. If the file size is missing then that indicates that either the file has not been downloaded yet or it can't find the filename in cache. That scenario will occur if you are using the NoScript extension and visit a site that uses external javascripts. The js filenames will be displayed on the popup menu but since those scripts were blocked from executing, the files were never downloaded into cache and therefore the file size cannot be calculated or displayed.

Occasionally you will encounter a website that uses external scripts that do not contain a filename.

Example: <script src="http://site.com/scripts/">
Example: <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://site.com/stylesheets/?type=text/css">

Since the filename cannot be found in the url, the extension will not be able to locate it in cache even if it is downloaded. Those types of urls will be labeled '[No_Name]' on the popup menus.

There is a new preference in the options window labeled 'Display js/css file size in kb.' When that option is checked the menu items on the popup menus will display the file size plus kb (7.46 kb). When it is not checked they will display the file size in bytes (7,641 bytes). Please let me know if you encounter any bugs with this version. Thanks.
