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

Aha. Here it works absolutely fine

On both
XYplorer.ini
And
XYplorer.ini NOW.ini

ShowFolderSizesExclude=M:\

Not doing anything!

[highend]

What should it "do"?

If auto size calculation is on, XY won't do it for those drive letter(s).

Post the result from executing this from the address bar:

Code: Select all

text getkey("ShowFolderSizesExclude", "Settings");

Yes that's exactly what i want.
It should "Exclude" the drive M:\ from showing the folders size.
the result:

M:\

The drive M:\ is a portable external USB drive.

Edit:
Regardless of Excluding showing folders size or not on the drive M:\ ,
As soon as open the drive M:\ , XY starts calculating folders size, And im trying to find a way to stop XY from calculating folders size on specific drives, which is the whole point of my post.

Again thanks for trying to help.

Can't reproduce this here, with that tweak set it doesn't matter if it's an internal or external drive. Auto size calculation doesn't happen for it...

Getting folders size auto starts when accessing the drive M:\ , with "ShowFolderSizesExclude=M:\" tweak,

Which is the working ini?
XYplorer.ini Or XYplorer.ini NOW.ini

I will try it on a clean XY later.

follow these instructions exactly on how to tweak: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak

@highend
Yes indeed the tweak works as intended, The problem is, i have a few ini files in my data folder, (XYplorer.ini) And (XYplorer.ini NOW.ini) And (XYplorer.ini NOW-20221126.ini).

The working ini for me is "XYplorer.ini NOW.ini", But if i add the same tweak to "XYplorer.ini" it doesn't work.
So if i add "ShowFolderSizesExclude=M:\" to both ini files the tweak is ignored completely.

Thanks though.

But if i add the same tweak to "XYplorer.ini" it doesn't work.

It doesn't work if you've switched to that .ini file after applying the tweak?

"XYplorer.ini" doesn't effect XY,
"XYplorer.ini NOW.ini" does.
