Under the

Tools > Settings > View > Status Bar > Content > Define Details > Hint Pattern

users can choose what is to be shown when they will move the moue pointer over the Status Bar

But as you can see in this example

: Status Bar - Bytes lacking.png (5.97 KiB) Viewed 31437 times

there is no description of units for bytes

I suggest then either changing what effect gives the

Code: Select all

[fc_sizeSel]

or add a new one

Code: Select all

[fc_sizeBSel]

and make it show the same data as the first one but with an added

Code: Select all

at its end

I am using Build 905 64-bit Donor Portable on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64 [10.0.19042]

Am I correct, that in Build 946 64-bit Donor Portable this has not been upgraded? That it is still impossible to see add a marker, which would indicate to user clearly that it the bytes that are reported in a string of numbers?

Simply define the hint as

Code: Select all

[fc_sizeSel] Byte(s)
[fc_sizeKBSel] KB
[fc_sizeMBSel] MB
[fc_sizeGBSel] GB

Yes, a simple trick like this

Code: Select all

[fc_sizeSel] B

does work - but nevertheless it is a workaround

But I reckon that this is then not a bug, but a feature?
