display size in "bag" section #44

Open jschell42 opened 7 years ago

jschell42 commented 7 years ago

volunteers who are bagging often don't know how big a dataset is before they download it, even if they look in the "harvest' section (because it's difficult to estimate how large something will be in the "research" stage. this results in attempting to download huge datasets, which depending on connection and computer speed, might take hours. can you add size info to the "bag" section so people know how big something will be before they download it? thanks!

I think this is just a ui change, assuming the size of the file can be assessed by the server and communicated to the ui
