Transferred some folders to RAM disk with Junction symbolic links.
But the place is not the disk is not free, began to find out. and...
Why show link size?
Symbolic link does not take up disk space!
It is annoying when calculating free space.
Is it being treated?

Re: Why does the TC show the size of symbolic (Junction) links?
Use IgnoreLinks INI option as I've suggested on Russian board.
Re: Why does the TC show the size of symbolic (Junction) links?
I didn't find how to use IgnoreLinks in INI.
Problem is still actual. Version 9.21a.
TC really sucks and fucks my brain, when i try to understand how many free space the drive "C" has.
Because "C" is the system disk, there are a lot of junction links or directory symbolic links.
Does anyone know solution or that's a time to replace TC by modern software?

Help -> Section 4 b. INI-File settings: wincmd.ini
search for IgnoreLinks:
So if you for example want to ignore links both for copy/move/calculate space operations AND for find files operations you set IgnoreLinks=9 (1+8)IgnoreLinks=0 Allows to ignore hard links (junctions, reparse points) to directories in various functions. Note: The function "Synchronize dirs" uses a separate option "SyncIgnoreJunctions".
Sum of:
1: copy/move/calculate occupied space
2: internal packers (zip, tar)
4: branch view
8: find files (except when using Everything), re-scan tree
16: ignore links even when they are selected in the current directory. Otherwise only links in selected subdirectories are ignored.
Also notice:
CopyLinks=0 Copy file system links (junctions) as links and not as directories:
0: Copy links as dirs or ignore them (if IgnoreLinks has been set)
1: Copy links without changing the target path of the links
2: Copy links and change the target path to the target drive if the link points to the same drive on which the link itself is located.
Example:
c:\path1\link, pointing to c:\path1\path2\linktarget
Copied to d:\trgpath1\trgpath2\link
-> Link now points to d:\trgpath1\trgpath2\path2\linktarget
Note: The function does NOT check whether the target of the link exists or not.

Re: Why does the TC show the size of symbolic (Junction) links?
No, it doesn't work for me.
In .ini file i set IgnoreLinks=1 (i tried 9 and 16 too).
But the result is the same. Some (system) links have no size, but user's link still have size.
How it can be?

Did you restart TC after the change?
Are you using 'Everything' for calculating dir sizes?
Do you have any files or folders in that path in your Ignore list?
Also you need to set IgnoreLinks=17 - not 16 if you don't want links in the current dir calculated.

Re: Why does the TC show the size of symbolic (Junction) links?
I set 31. After it the sizes started to calculate as i expected.
Before i set 1, 8, 9 = 8 + 1, 16 - no effect.
And ofcoz i restarted TC after every changing of settings.
