I have a directory sitting there, files are occasionally be added by another program. The directory listing is correctly updating, but the bytes selected/bytes in files selected/files information is not updating.
Nothing is selected but I would like to see the total bytes.
Bug: Selected file info doesn't update properly

This is a misfeature of the NTFS file system, it only updates the sizes and timestamps when the file is CLOSED.

The correct information is appearing in the list of files. Simply add them up and you'll have the totals. You pretty much have to be doing that in memory anyway as you have totals for selected files, something you can't ask the OS for. Thus all I can conclude is that you aren't updating that total line at the bottom of the screen when you get a file change notification.ghisler(Author) wrote:This is a misfeature of the NTFS file system, it only updates the sizes and timestamps when the file is CLOSED.
