I'm evaluating CDFinder 5.5 and I'm quite disapointed about one thing: it doesn't recognize virtual machines from Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Instead, the catalogue says the folder size containing the virtual machine is 0 Bytes, which means you have to calculate these sizes manually! Not very practical and quite annoying, because CDFinder is otherwise great. Hope the author finds a fix.

No Virtual Machines recognition? - But it does! - welcome--2008
YES indeed it does. I didn't realize "Ignore Package Contents" needed to be deactivated in the prefs; now it works perfectly. Also, many thanks for an incredibly fast feedback!Thursday, January 29 2009 @ 06:37 AM PST

The solution is already in CDFinder.Virtual machines are actually bundles (special folder type), and if you turn on the cataloging of bundle contents in the Preferences of CDFinder, it will of course calculate their size correctly. As the default is to Ignore Bundle contents, you currently get 0 as the size, as CDFinder ignores them...
Yours,
