Resource patch size info in map generator preview

TL;DR
In the map generation preview window, I'd like to get tooltip info of how much resources / oil the patches contain.
What ?
This can work excatly like the in-game map view. Point on the patches with the mouse, and a tooltip should popup saying 410K iron, 1350% oil yield or whatever.
Why ?
This will aid a lot when I decide whether I want to play the generated map or not. I can instantly see how much oil there is, or how much iron the starting patch contains, without having to actually start the game, go into map view, and then quit the game if it turns out they were too small.

Sorry but that info isn't known unless you actually generate the map. The preview is just that; a preview - incomplete.

You can calculate average resources per chunk. Can you?
