[Coming out from discussion https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13607 and https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13639]

Under the

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

I use

Code: Select all

 BYTES:             [fc_sizeSel] ● ON DISK: [fc_sizeOnDiskSel]
 KILOBYTES:      [fc_sizeKBSel]  ● ON DISK: [fc_sizeOnDiskKBSel]
 MEGABYTES:   [fc_sizeMBSel] ● ON DISK: [fc_sizeOnDiskMBSel]
 GIGABYTES:     [fc_sizeGBSel] ● ON DISK: [fc_sizeOnDiskTBSel]
 TERABYTES:     [fc_sizeTBSel] ● ON DISK: [fc_sizeOnDiskGBSel]

but when I hover mouse pointer over my Status Bar I only get to see something like this for files

: Status Bar - file.png (130.46 KiB) Viewed 13448 times

and no data for folders, i.e.

: Status Bar - folder.png (99.8 KiB) Viewed 13448 times

When I press the ALT + F9 shortcut [i.e. turn on calculating of sizes of items] info displayed for files will not change and for folders it will be shown like this

: Status Bar - folder with calculation.png (149.76 KiB) Viewed 13448 times

Please note here the apparent difference between showing nothing at all after

ON DISK:

and showing e.g.

ON DISK: 0.00 MB

My file FreeCommander.INI file for whatever reason did not have the newly implemented line of configuration, thus I manually added to it

Code: Select all

AlwaysLoadFileAllocatedMemorySize=1

to it - but that did not change what is reported to me. I also tried using the

Code: Select all

AlwaysLoadFileAllocatedMemorySize=0

setting, but this also did nothing to my Status Bar baloon reports

I have also noticed that when I have the ALT + F9 option turned on [which I know because I have an icon for it on my Splitter] but navigate to a different folder it gets turned off. Is it an intended behavior and / or something that can be changed somewhere in Setting - or is this just another bug I am experiencing, this inability to maintain that calculation being turned on when going to a different folder within the same Tab?

And on a side note, I would like also to point a lack of denotation for Bytes: https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13800

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

The option

Code: Select all

AlwaysLoadFileAllocatedMemorySize=

is implemented only for files not for the folders.
I also have no plans to implement this function for folders.
That would cost too much performance.

I have also noticed that when I have the ALT + F9 option turned on [which I know because I have an icon for it on my Splitter] but navigate to a different folder it gets turned off.

Please check your settings for "Automatic views"->Show size of folders.

Choosing [for the Default view entry] of

Tools > Settings > View > Column profiles / Automatic views / Auto selectable views > Show size of folders > Active

or

Tools > Settings > View > Column profiles / Automatic views / Auto selectable views > Show size of folders > No change

does make this issue go away, i.e. I no longer have to turn on potentially calculation in a manual way whenever I move to some other folder. [Although I fear that switching that setting from Inactive option might break me some other behavior that I expect to occur and which currently I kind recall]

But this does nothing for that issue of not showing anything for e.g.

Code: Select all

[fc_sizeOnDiskMBSel]
