Size of folders improvements / issues
Posted: 24.02.2019, 18:05
Size of folders option is useful, but it's not easy to use, few common issues:
- If I enable it for one tab, I may forgot to disable it and it's loading size of all folders on all tabs, even on root dir and it's slow.
- Using "Size of selected folders" is a workaround, but I have to select folder, use shortcut, deselect folders - and the size is lost on tab change.
My suggestions for improvements:
1) Save "Size of folders" state per tab, or per locked tabs only.
2) Add "Size of tabs" option to "Automatic views", to be able to have it always enabled only for some folders (add options enable/disable/no change). (Implemented in 864)
3) Add new option "Size of tab folders" - 1-click workaround to show size of all tab/visible.
Another issue is, that sizes are lost on tab change, is it possible to preserve the size on tab change? If so, add "*" next to old size and calculate new size automatically or manually by refreshing the view, then remove "*" if the size is updated.
