[giulia]

Hi

i'm running the last tc version ,installation version both 64 and 32bit

about custom colums can i ask?
1) can I have file and folder (inluced sub folder) size ?

2) how can i switch from a custom colums sort to default?

3)and can i under view mode , let tc shows me for some folder file size and folder (with subfolder) size ?

i have searched in the help ,but there i have't found such information

thanks

1) can I have file and folder (inluced sub folder) size ?

You don't need custom columns for that. Just use the command cm_CountDirContent to have the size of folders and their subfolders shown - I strongly recommend running the 'Everything' file indexing program as a service - to speed up the process.
You can use cm_CountDirContent in a button or a shorcut or in a View mode (in the "Auto-run commands" fields).

2) how can i switch from a custom colums sort to default?

You can change the sorting just by clicking on the tab header of the sorting you want.
You can change Custom View Mode from the menu: "Show" -> "Custom View Modes", or with the command cm_SrcViewModeList in a button or a shortcut etc. The sorting can be set for each Custom View.

3)and can i under view mode , let tc shows me for some folder file size and folder (with subfolder) size ?

Make a rule or several for the folders in the "Auto Switch Mode" configuration.

in the option ->custom colums i would like to create some presets , one of these preset i would like to add full folder included subfolder size
is it a bad idea?
i guess the custom colums is made so i can switch from default name, extension ,size , date and attribute to another custom colums ,name and size
and i could switch between them ,Am I correct?
about Everything , it's a great freeware but can mess up the NTFS mft Journal

can't be trigged by view mode or auto swtich mode, can it?

i have done but there is no cm_CountDirContent

thanks

Do you by full folder mean full folder NAME including path - yes thats is doable. If you want subfolder size you need a plugin like DirSizeCalc.

i guess the custom colums is made so i can switch from default name, extension

You will always have nema and extension in all custom columns, the rest are freely configurable.

Yes it can.

Yo have to put it there yourself - like here: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/dirsizeview.png

But I am not quite sure what you want - maybe you could give an exact example...

I have never heard of that - do you have any reference to that fact?

Sorry but this i pure fake news.
I use Everyting since its very first version without any TC.
Also I read the void forum daily.
There was never ever such a problem.

hi
yes thanks ,it shows folders size (included the subsfolders)
thanks for the screenshot

I have never heard of that - do you have any reference to that fact?

i have read googling in some forum , i don't remember ,but the users did play with the mft journal ntfs size

I don't know why tc doesn't have creation date and modified date , maybe it's somewhere in the guide

i can't add cm_SrcViewModeList in custom view mode

No, that wouldn't make sense.
