FR: Display archive deduplicated size
The problem
Looking at the list of archives, there is a timestamp, size, and duration, but no info on deduplicated size. This would be very useful as it tells how much disk space a particular backup has taken.
Requested Solution
Add one more column to the Archives table with a deduplicated size.
Alternatives
The deduplicated size would also be nice to know for the whole repository. Currently, there is N/A everywhere on macOS Monterey 12.6.
Additional context
This is what my Vorta looks like.
This data isn't always available, since it's expensive to calculate. We need to see how the situation will be in Borg 2.

I see. I thought it was because when running borg create, it prints out the deduplicated size of that specific backup.
Is the repository deduplicated size also an expensive calculation?

When creating an archive or refreshing the data of an archive in the table view the values for the whole repository should usually be updated. When deleting an archive the values are reset.

Currently the deduplicated size is displayed in the size column.

Well this value would only be valid as long as there's no older backup removed.
I would already help if one could select multiple or all archives and click on "refresh" on the top right, so it freshes the dedup archive size to the current state. Currently not possible as "refresh" gets disabled as soon as more than 1 archive is selected.
Otherwise it displays just a lot of outdated cached information after a while.
