I would like to point out, that under
Tools > Settings > View > Status Bar > Content > Define Details >
there is no option for showing of GB sizes - user can choose only bytes, KB and MB
It has been quite a long time since we have surpassed even the GB mark. If you are operating on files that are big archives, movies or RAW photos, then with MB in place you see something like e.g. 137 526.87 MB and the very next moment you migh see something like 45 398.09 MB, which is not clear / quick to read. And with GB the amount of number digits would be less by the 1 magnitude of order

What about Auto size - [fc_sizeAutoSel] ? It's the default option.

So that is what that does... and so this topic of mine
https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtop ... =18&t=9066 was unnecessary
But still, there is no option for gigabytes alone; and terabytes

I would like to point out that for months now there on the market open to public there are HDDs available with 22TB capacity in a single 3.5" unit
So why still is there no ability for the
Status Bar to utilize
parameter? Why is FreeCommander stuck in the 1990s in regard to size units, acknowledging usage of MBs but not GBs?

And what about
and future proofing FreeCommander for PBs?

All parameters "fc_size*Auto*" works fine with Terabytes (TB) and Petabytes (PB).

The
does work - but it is not what I driving at
If I will use in my
Status Bar for
Text Pattern [among other] this
Code: Select all
| [fc_sizeAutoAll] ▶ [fc_sizeAutoSel]
and then for its
Hint Pattern this
Code: Select all
BYTES: [fc_sizeSel]
KILOBYTES: [fc_sizeKBSel]
MEGABYTES: [fc_sizeMBSel]
GIGABYTES: [fc_sizeGBSel]
that what I will see is e.g. this
- FreeCommander - Status Bar lacks GBs.png (17.29 KiB) Viewed 14363 times
because
it is not understood / accepted by FC; and so are
also not working
