null sized dirs

[mrbeeye]

Another interesting behavior:

(*) when press Space on nonempty directory, TC counts used space and shows a number,
(*) when press Space on empty directory, TC shows nothing,
(*) when press Space on directory which I have no permission(s) for accessing (on NTFS), TC shows nothing.

I think TC should:
(*) show 0 when empty and accessible directory
(*) show nothing when not accessible directory

Support.

this is by design - whats the matter if its 0 or <Dir>?

The difference is that <Dir> can be non-empty, if TC could not determine its size for some reason. So, it's better to know, if the size is real 0, or if the size is unknown and can be arbitrary.
I support the idea too!

I sympathize with this request because the current feedback is ambiguous.

Hello !

I think TC should:
(*) show 0 when empty and accessible directory
(*) show nothing when not accessible directory

¤ I support your idea in the principle.
¤ I guess that TC could display a specific mark when the access is not allowed, in example : <!>

 Kind regards,

Disappointed. Not solved in 6.54Beta1.

I don't consider this as a bug - your suggestion is a new feature, and v7 is mainly meant as a bugfix release. Maybe in v7...

Yes of course.

Simply use the dirsizecalc plug-in instead which provides all this information.

DirSizeCalc displays "not available" for not accessable directories.

If you introduce this in Tc 7.0, may you make it optional?. Thanks.

Neither in 7.00 public 1

I'm sorry, <dir> is currently stored as '0' size in the file structure, therefore TC cannot distinguish between the two.
