This is just more dtml, since most of the mangement interface is done using
dtml-in over a simple set of objects, this should be straightforward.

> SIZE
> How big is this thing?
> When I look at a graphic is it a thumbnail icon or a hires scan?
> What about PDF

That might be a little more tricky and slower if you want to try and
calculate the size of a Folder containing many objects. That I would say is
not terribly important.

Id like to see this configurable so I can choose these options.
