Re: folder size calculate
Correct, but I think that lumega is right. F3 should do something if a folder is selected. What comes closest to "viewing" a folder? Calculating the file sizes is one candidate. Can somebody imagine a better one?Jan Patera wrote:In Salamander, Spacebar does this.lumega wrote:Step cursor on folder and press F3 (VIEW) - must calculate size of folder (with subfolders)
Can somebody maybe even imagine how to "edit" a folder without just changing its name (what is F2)?
+1 for making use of F3 and F4 on directories. I mean, they're unused and there surely are several functions in AS that could be more accessible, I just can't remember any.
Maybe it shouldn't be used now; there are things like tree view or info on junction/reparse points which could come handy and F3 is quite good for them IMO.

Yes, of course, that's why I proposed something like viewing info on the directory (is it a reparse/junction point? how many files does it contain? how much space does it occupy?). Even some sort of tree view could be a good analogy to viewing.
[just_fun]Or, you could just take the contents of all the files in the directory and show it all together, right? That would be literally viewing, wouldn't it? Or, to be even more precise, you could show the entry in the filetable, because directory is just a list.[/just_fun]

@ALTAP] In fact, that is a good idea. There are some possible advantages of that implementation. Maybe you could use settings and routines from coloring (Configuration->Colors).antp wrote:F3 & F4 could be used on folders if it was possible to associate a viewer to a folder rather than a file extension.

Size caomparison graph??
How about making use of an as yet undeveloped plugin and give a graphical representation of the folder and files...easily showing which files are taking up the most space???
