Hi, my name's Chris, I'm from Poland and I'm a 2xExplorer-holic... :-)
But seriously: I've noticed an interesting thing when it comes to the information displayed by 2xExplorer. I've got a folder which contains over 1000 .bmp files, with average size of 4MB per file (they're scanned colour pictures). It's easy to count that the size of this folder should be around 4 gigabytes - and it is, but 2xExplorer doesn't show this properly. No matter what I do - take a look on the status bar or use the Ctrl+D shortcut - I get the info that the folder's size is 280 megabytes. What's even more interesting, on another partition there are also over 1000 .bmp files (this time black-and-white pics), and 2xExplorer gives the folder's size correctly - they're over 3GB. What's wrong - either with the app or my system (which is WinMe, btw)?
And while we're at it: whenever I use the Ctrl+D shortcut to check a folder/disk's size, the title bar of the pop-up window tells me that I have 1.9GB of free space on a given partition. The problem is, each of my partitions is over 5 gigabytes (well, one is 5 and the other two 7GB each) and has more than 2.5 giga free. So what's wrong again? ;^)
Any help will be appreciated!
