[662] Status bar on network drive (NAS)

#1 Post by m-a-r-k » 31.05.2014, 17:43

The Status bar disk properties doesn't work on my NAS network drive any more. It was OK up till recently.
This on XP and Windows 7 machines, x32 and x64.

It doesn't show the Disk Free: [fc_discFree] value in particular. The string shown bears no resemblance to any of the 4 settings I have for the status bar.
In Settings FcDefault__0Parent has filter .. and the following Text patterns:
[fc_countAll] Objects
Size: [fc_sizeAutoSel] ([fc_sizeSel] Bytes)
Disk Free: [fc_discFree]

This is what should be shown when I click on the root of a partition or drive:

This is what I now get on the root of the NAS drive and folders:

The NAS drive is Linux based but this information has always been displayed up till now.

Thanks

It is due to some change in the release 662.
The reading of the free space of the network drive can be very slow.
I plan the new option for the next release:
"Calculate free disk space for network drives too - can be very slow".
You can activate the option if your drive is not slow.

Thank you Marek
My NAS drives are 1TB and I've never had a problem with FC calculating Disk Free space, in fact I've never noticed any delay in the calculation of any of these Status Bar calculations, so this is a welcome change.
Thanks again.
