calculating folder size

yusef88 · Post by **yusef88** » 28 Dec 2022 07:13

strange ْxy calculates size of the Windows folder before calculates current folder. I guess it calculates the entire drive because it takes much time
does not happen in a fresh instance

here is my customization for xyplorer
I doubt that one of these settings is responsible for this behavior

deleted some codes from script file to narrow the search

Can you spill a little more information?

OK, I think I see now what you mean. Should be better in next beta.

I'll post my test with beta 23.90.0203

If I delete the pane folder and start XY. this message no longer appears in status bar

Which pane folder?

What's the path of your other pane?

by the way in the tooltip the Name: is shown twice.

I mean: is your second pane pointing to C:\Windows ?

You have figure it out
Yes, XY calculates the path of second pane even it is not visible
i changed it to E:\ and now the message is getting size of E:\

Well, XY does what you tell it to do.

You maybe should cache your folder sizes...

So why this message does not appear in a fresh instance?
after several experiments, I found Apply list styles globally [Styles] is the culprit.
apply it after fresh install and the message will began to show
exit xy, delete <xydata>\Panes and the calculate folder size will return to act normal

But that is not the only setting you change in a fresh instance? What other things did you change?

It is the only setting. I kept trying until I reached this result

Post by **admin** » 30 Dec 2022 12:26

I don't get it. Folder Size Calculation is not triggered just by changing this setting.

to guarantee we're talking about the same thing
you tried [show Folder Sizes] on Size column menu ?

sorry for bugging you a lot in this topic
