Total Space listed in the Status Bar

#1 Post by Bearded Kirklander » 31.08.2008, 04:19

Currently, you list the Total of Objects in a folder on the status bar at the bottom of each panel. For example, it will say "1/29 Object(s) selected"

I would like to request that in addition to what is on the status bar now, you provide Total Size of the objects in the folder as well.

This amount would be the total size of the FILES in that folder and not include the sizes of any directories and their subdirectories.

It would be the same value as if you were to select everything item listed in the current folder but would be there all of the time, like the "29" is in the "Object(s) selected"

It would be sort of like how you always list free space for that volume:

"Free (79.43 GB)"

Say that all the files in this folder take up about 9 megabytes in space. You could represent it like:

"Total (9.03 MB)"

Perhaps giving the user the option of having it abbreviated like those two examples above, or listing the full amount of bytes like you do for the total size of objects selected:

"9,472,656 Bytes"

I find that knowing both free and total at a glance is helpful, especially when I'm using USB Thumb Drives of different capacities.

I would appreciate it if you would consider adding this as an option for the status bar.

Thank you, as always,

BK
