Any chance of adding

Status: file size in

Bytes KB Auto (KB, MB, GB)

into FreeCommander XE like in 2009.02b

I think this is the standard also in XE.
Right click on "name"-header chose "Add/remove columns" and chose "size auto".

i'm sorry, but I can't see that anywhere in XE

It's a bit more complicated, but it's there...

Settings > Status Bar > Content:

Then click Define details button for all items, rows and change the row with size to "Size - auto size...", use the blue down-arrow button. It should look like this:

[fc_sizeAutoSel]

sure is a lot of work compared to 2009.02b

I changed them all to [fc_sizeAutoSel] but it still shows everything in MB and GB and not bytes or KB

My fault, I didn't recognize that you meant the status bar (I described the columns in the file pane).

what I'm trying to do, is to show all sizes only in Bytes

In settings for statusbar change all text pattern entries [fc_sizeAutoSel] by [fc_sizeSel] for bytes or [fc_sizeKBSel] for KB.
Furthermore if you have [fc_sizeAutoAll] entries, change them by [fc_sizeAll] for bytes.

You can see all possibilities by clicking on the blue dropdown button on the right side of the text pattern field and selecting "Size"

what I'm trying to do, is to show all sizes only in Bytes

You can choose all patterns in the dropdown menu.
For Bytes: [fc_sizeSel]

maybe i'm not understanding properly

I changed everything to [fc_sizeSel] in the patterns, saved the settings, but the file sizes are still showing as Bytes, KB, MB and GB and not in just in Bytes

For a test I changed the statusbar entries for FcDefault_0 (single selection) and FcDefault_1 (multi selection) from [fc_sizeAutoSel] to [fc_sizeSel].

After applying in statusbar the sizes are shown in bytes as wanted.

(tested with a separate XE-portable v609)

I was doing it to all 4, I did it to the 2 you mentioned and it works

thanks for all your help

now, how do I make free disc space show as Bytes instead of GB of the space that's still available on the drive?

It looks it's currently impossible AFAIK.

that's what I thought, I tried everything and couldn't get it show Bytes
