Folder size.

Post by tanger »

When I go and click on a folder at the bottom it does not show how much space the folder is using. It just shows the size of the file selected. Example when I click on a folder it will show File 3.3KB Modified Date that is highlighted instead of showing the folder size.

I agree completely with "tanger".

The point is: when you switch from 2xExplorer to Explorer2 then you think to regain the old features plus - maybe - new and attractive ones.

What I also missed at once when I opened Explorer 2 was that I do not see the size of the actual directory without using CTRL-ALT. That's a real drawback in the new version. And for me from this it is clear that I will not switch over to Explorer2.

When I browse directory I think it is essential to see
- the actual size of the file
- the actual size of the directory (if no file is marked)
- the not-used capacity of the partition.

This should be shown be default in bytes - without any additional keystrokes. Just keep it simple.

Yes, thats a nice feature I really liked in 2xExplorer. I wait to see what build 1.0.0.1 will be like.
