number of files in a folder

[calvin]

Can XYplorer show me the number of files in a highlighted folder?

[highend]

Via hovering over its icon:
Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | [x] Show Hover Box

In the size column:
Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | [x] Show item count with folder sizes
Ofc folder size must then be calculated...

In the properties pane:
Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | [x] Show folder size on Properties tab

Via a custom column......

Maybe add files count here ?

This can take long.

This can take long.

How about View-Details ?

Is it need many time to add up the numbers ? 2+6+4+2 = 14 files
Just checkbox, for people who need it

Recursing the folders can take long.

Configuration - General - Tree and List - Always show folder sizes
It already calculates the number of elements. (in subfolders too)
It remains only to show to the user this number without additional calculation

You could do what you are requesting via a script, you'd just need to invoke it by custom toolbar button or shortcut key etc when required, something like the script below should work

Code: Select all

  status "This folder contains " . eval(foldersize(<curpath>, "<d>+<f>")) . " items";

The return for your example wouldn't be 14 though, because you haven't counted the 3 folders pictured, you could adjust the script to match your screenshot value though, it wouldn't take much effort.

via a script

wow, great

Code: Select all

status "This folder contains " . eval(foldersize(<curpath>, "<d>+<f>")) . " items";
status "This folder contains " . eval(foldersize(<curpath>, "<d>")) . " directories";
status "This folder contains " . eval(foldersize(<curpath>, "<f>")) . " files";
status "This folder contains " . eval(foldersize(<curpath>, "<d>")) . " directories and " . eval(foldersize(<curpath>, "<f>")) . " files";

Code: Select all

status "This folder contains " . foldersize(<curpath>, "<d> folder(s) / <f> file(s)");

Look, I could easily make the Status Bar show the Deep Status if folder sizes are shown. But I personally find it very confusing.

highend, beautiful solution

Look, I could easily make the Status Bar show the Deep Status if folder sizes are shown.

wow, it's cool!
Where to configure it? (20.60.0400) I do not have that Status Bar Deep Status like on your screenshot. Or is it a your private build on the screenshot?
Tree and List - "Always show folder sizes" + "Show item count with folder sizes" are turned on.

But I personally find it very confusing.

All people are different. What confuses one is to the other very cool. And vice versa
For both types are options and checkboxes in the configuration.

I'll add a tweak to the next version:

Code: Select all

StatusBarDeepStatus=1

Nice, thanks

[admin]

So, anybody likes the Deep Status ? I.e. should that become an option in Configuration?
