Showing number of files in a folder, behind the foldername.

[W!ke]

Hi All,

Can anyone help me on a plugin or other tool which can show the number of files behind the folder name?

I mean like:

temp(80)
tcmd(40)

And that it will show them in a tree.

Thanks.

Well, you can get this information by pressing Ctrl+Q but I guess this isn’t fully what you are asking, is it!

I have to admit though that I kinda like your idea but I can vividly see a major problem if this feature is implemented. And that is a “colossal” impact on performance as TC will have to constantly scan directories in order to calculate the number of files the individual folders contain to display the outcome!

It would be better if the info was incorporated into the tool-tip box. Explorer already generates file counts for folders under XP.

This is an example where a multi-threaded implementation of the file panels would be great. With multi-threading, the file counts and file size summaries can proceed in the background while the user interacts with TotalCommander in the foreground as usual... there is at least 1 TotalCommander clone out there that already implements this function.

This is not to say that such an implementation is trivial to program/implement (it's probably moderately difficult)... just that it is a possible and desirable feature.

I don't know what you are seeing, but when I press Ctrl+Q, I get Quickview, which doesn't show the number of files in a folder

For example this:

_______________end_of_transmission________________

Drive:\Folder

Total space occupied:
XXX XXX XXX bytes in XXX file(s)

Actual space used (considering cluster size)
on source drive: XXX XXX XXX Bytes

_______________end_of_transmission________________[/face]

it depends on the plugin(s) installed...

if ieview.wlx is active, ctrl+q shows the files in the directory, not the summary

You should step on a folder you want to examine, not inside that folder.

Click inside Quick View pane (to set focus there) and press "1".

Valentino,

Ctrl-L would be easier in that case I think.

Yeah...
Unless you want to examine several folders.
