Is there any way of determining the number of files in a folder?
Ho I do it now is to go into the the folder and select all (ctrl+A) the files, Then the Bottom Toolbar Gives Me the total number of selected files and directores.
?? Is there something Like ` Calculate Directory Sizes ' - that will give me the number of files in several folders from the parent directory ??
?? Or of creating a column in detail mode to automatically give you tis ??
Thanks.

That's how we do it, too. Another way is to use the Calculate Occupied Space command (Alt+F10), which will tell you how many files is in the selected directory/ies (including the files in subdirectories).knightball wrote:Is there any way of determining the number of files in a folder?

I didn't quite understand your question here for a while. I presume you want a command which will display the number of files contained in each directory shown in the panel. It's not possible right now, but I believe a simple plugin could do the trick for you (*). If you are a programmer, you can use the Salamander SDK to make a plugin; otherwise I appeal to the programmers reading this to take the task.??

Something very similar was already discussed in this thread: 'calculate directory size automatically'.?? Or of creating a column in detail mode to automatically give you tis ??
*) Now it's possible only by creating a command which will calculate the numbers and show them in a dialog window, or by creating a FS plugin which will act as a layer between the actual filesystem and the user (similar to the demo FS plugin), automatically computing and showing the numbers in a special column. This request is a model case for the Custom Panel Columns feature.
