Always show folder size, Should be an option to ignore External drives.

[CLM]

Configuration - General - Tree and List - Always show folder size ...

Should be an option to ignore external drives!

Thanks.

Why?

I agree with the request because external or network drives may be much to slow
for calculating folder sizes all the time.

[CLM]

Why?

I always plugin large drives full of staff (Terabytes of files),
Why:
* I have to wait in that tab and do nothing, until it's done calculating!
* Even if i choose to stop it, it will kick in the next directory.
* And even if i wait for it to finish, the next time i plugin that drive, things will be added and others will be deleted, so the cashed sizes are incorrect!

For internal drives yes, externals i cant really see the point!

You already can control it for network locations: Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | In network locations as well

Makes sense. Are these drives shown as "Removable Disk" in the "This PC" drives listing?

If yes, there is a tweak for you:

Code: Select all

v23.00.0104 - 2022-04-28 11:53
    + Added tweak to control whether folder sizes are shown for removable drives:
        ShowFolderSizeInListOnRemovables=1
      This allows you to skip removable drives when "Show folder sizes" is enabled.
      Factory default is ON.

So, you would simply set it to 0:

Code: Select all

 ShowFolderSizeInListOnRemovables=0

[CLM]

Mostly external drives, ShowFolderSizeInListOnRemovables=0 doesn't effect them.

So how can I distinguish them from local hard drives?

Maybe an option to show folder size only on specified drives!

Em, you can at least manually exclude unwanted drives...

ShowFolderSizesExclude=C:\|T:\|U:\?

Completely missed your comment, sorry about that.

I'll give it a try!

Edit:
Doesn't seem to work, running it as script is not a valid command.

oO It's a tweak, not a script^^

Add it to the .ini?

Or the tweak was meant for don

[highend]

You don't need to add the tweak (it's already present), just fill the value for it...

[CLM]

That's not working!
Thanks for the help though.
