is there a way to show only selected folders size ?

Post by *giulia »

Hi

I have searched an answer in the manual , forum and googling but i have not found

I have used ctrl+q , but it does show on the other tab the folders size, alt-shift-enter does show all folders size and spacebar only 1 folder


I would like to select 6 folders and let tc shows their size like alt-shift-enter but only for the selected folders

i don't want to use the windows proprieties with alt+enter , just the selected folders

can i do it ?
thanks

Another way is:
1. select required folders
2. Select from main menu "Show - Only Selected Files"
3. Press alt-shift-enter

That doesn't work here for folders.

Same, slightly faster with command chain
1. select folders
2.cm_ShowOnlySelected,cm_CountDirContent
e.g. button:

Works fine here- even with a fresh .ini file

The size will dissapear though, when TC get out of focus and get it back.

If you enable the option in Menu -> "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Operation" -> "Calculate space occupied by subdirectories" -> "When selecting with space bar" - then the size of the selected folders is shown, if you use space bar for selecting.

For convenience you should put this option in the [Configuration] section of your wincmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

SpaceMovesDown=1

Sorry, I had a wrong em_command in place.
