DirSizeCalc 2.22 (content plugin)

[Lefteous]

2petermad

I wonder if it would be possible to have the DirSizeCalcSettings.exe make the plugin reload when any changes have been made. Now I have to change the view to one not having any dirsizecalc fields, then remove plugins from memory and then reselect the custom columns view that I wanted to see the changes for - or restart TC.

Well

I tested the EXE for the first time for some minutes (and I didn't read the postings above - so excuse me if I repeat something which is already discussed):

a) The configuration is well done, very clear and well arranged. Fine!

b) Dialogue "Einheit bearbeiten" shows only fragments of a sentence:
"S eingeben um Leerzeichen zu". Where? What's about the blank? (yes, I found it, but it should be displayed)

c) Dialogue "Einheitenvorschau" has "Eigenes Format" in the right column. That is a little bit confusing, because not all selected or displayed units are "Eigene" Formate. Maybe the word "Selected / gewähltes" is better? And I do not know if the word "Einheit" or "Format" is the right one ..

d) Maybe you want to add a toggle-function to button "Vorschau (preview)": "Vorschau an / Vorschau aus". Now I have to close the preview with X. Or - what's about integrating the preview in the "Einheit bearbeiten"-Dialogue and avoiding an extra window?

e) Suggestion (luxury):
The "Hinzufügen / Add units" Button should use the selected unit to make a copy of it. For example: I want to make a "kB" unit - one for germany with "." as separator and "," as decimal and one "kB" unit for Switzerland with "'" as separator and "." as decimal.

f) Maybe you should make a limitation fotr the length of the name for "Eigene Einheit.." If the name is to long you can not read it in the configuration of TC-search.(But this also happens with the "Felder" like "Enthält Unterverzeichnisse", and so it is not important.

Best regards

thanks for testing.

Thanks!

"S eingeben um Leerzeichen zu

Yes the container for the string is too short.

Maybe the word "Selected / gewähltes" is better?

Sounds like a good idea.

Maybe you want to add a toggle-function to button "Vorschau (preview)": "Vorschau an / Vorschau aus". Now I have to close the preview with X.

I will think about it although I don't see a problem in pressing the close button. The dialog doesn't really hurt and is also closed when changing to another page in the main window.

what's about integrating the preview in the "Einheit bearbeiten"-Dialogue and avoiding an extra window?

No it will remain an extra window.

The "Hinzufügen / Add units" Button should use the selected unit to make a copy of it. For example: I want to make a "kB" unit - one for germany with "." as separator and "," as decimal and one "kB" unit for Switzerland with "'" as separator and "." as decimal.

Sounds like a good idea but it's too late for version 2. You'll have to do this manually for now. You can change between unit configs without closing the edit unit dialog as it's not modal.

Maybe you should make a limitation fotr the length of the name for "Eigene Einheit.." If the name is to long you can not read it in the configuration of TC-search.(But this also happens with the "Felder" like "Enthält Unterverzeichnisse", and so it is not important.

I currently leave it up to the user to use reasonable lengths for fields and units. Field names must be comprehensible. TC automatically uses them as column captions where shorter field names would be better. I made a suggestion on this some years ago:

I prefer to use binary mode and display KB/MB/GB at the same time, instead KiB/MiB/GiB, how can make it under the latest beta?

Before upgrade, I used beta9 and did it through modifying lng file to,

Code: Select all

; Units
10=Bytes
20=KB
21=MB
22=GB
30=KB
31=MB
32=GB

[Lefteous]

2cheesecake
Theoretically it would be

Code: Select all

B|KiB|MiB|GiB|kB|MB|GB=my unit translations

but I'm afraid it doesn't work in this version due to a bug. Thanks for pointing this out. All other strings should be translatable though.

Bug/Problem:
When the switch for not calculating junction sizes in subdirectories is activated, this only prevents calculating of junctions in the first subdirectory level. All junctions deeper in hierarchy are still calculated.

Thanks for your report. I can confirm the bug.

Thank you very much

Hi. Is it too late to implement my suggestion from previous post -:

Is it possible to be able to specify the maximum number of significant digits in the display? Similar to how Windows Explorer works which seems to have no more than 3 significant digits but with a variable number of decimal places. For example (using dot as decimal separator)

127b
1.27k
12.7k
127k
1.27M etc

instead of

127b
1.3k
12.7k
127.2k
1.3M etc



Thankk you

[Lefteous]

Yes it's too late to add it to DirSIzeCalc 2. Maybe in a future version.

[DrShark]

Suggestion:
Field DirSizeCalc->ContainsFiles
Add Operation: "Custom"
Possible value: file names like:
boot.ini *.exe
Reason: to find dirs not contains these files.

[Lefteous]

2DrShark
Yes I also thought about considering filters in various fields. The problem here is that there is no proper way to let the user define the filter.
Take a look at my plug-in "File" which has a field "Is in List". It reads a list of filenames from a text file. If the user needs other file names the text file must be edited and the plug-in must be unloaded.

http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=98275#98275

Using filters in DirSizeCalc would work in the same way and I don't know if this is really usable.

Well, I created the file <wincmd.ini dir>\File\FileList_boot and wrote a line boot.ini in it.
How can I search for dirs without this file now?
Can you please put some basic readmes for these plugins?

[Lefteous]

2DrShark
You misunderstood me. The plugin "File" doesn't provide the functionality you asked for. The other plug-in was just an example for what the problems of parameterized fields are.
