I've tried searching for a couple of hours so sorry if I've missed this but I'm trying to optimize my View setting. What I'm trying to achieve is showing the filesize of each file when using the Views>Thumbnails setting. Is this possible via a tweak or other way?
If I use the Large Tiles view this gets closer to what I'd like to see except my long filenames are all truncated.
So I guess I'm trying to show either:
1) More info within the Thumbnails view (mainly the filesize but would be nice to have possiblily of adding other info)
2) Be able to see long filenames without truncation in Tiles view (e.g. filename split over 2 or more lines)
Are either possible via a tweak or something that I've missed? Thanks!

Re: Adding filesize to Thumbnails view
Hi tbm,
There are options to "show dimensions of original" (in thumbnails view) and to increase the number of caption lines. Hope it helps.

Re: Adding filesize to Thumbnails view
My bad, I just realize you needed the file size, not the dimensions.

Thanks, yes I've got the dimensions showing, just trying to get the filesize displayed. Will keep looking!pixelsearch wrote: ↑31 Jul 2024 22:27 My bad, I just realize you needed the file size, not the dimensions.

Check out this: https://www.xyplorer.com/release_25.60.php#CTO
And give this overlay definition a try:

This is perfect, thank you so much. Although I've used XY for years I don't think I've even scratched the surface of what it's really capable of and how many options are within it!admin wrote: ↑01 Aug 2024 09:39 Check out this: https://www.xyplorer.com/release_25.60.php#CTO

Re: Adding filesize to Thumbnails view
Although initially it seemed to be working well (I've set thumbnail overlay to show the filesize and dimensions) it does seem to come at the cost of extremely slow updating and a lot of hanging (anything from 30 seconds to a minute or often a lot more). If I revert back to Details view I don't get any slowness.
Could using the Thumbnail overlay be causing a slowdown - can I revert the conf() code back to default so I can see if this is causing my problems?

Re: Adding filesize to Thumbnails view
Just as an addendum, it seems to mainly affect folders that contain videos and which also have the thumbnail view with overlays as you suggested.
On folders with images with the thumbnail overlay setting there doesn't seem to be any problem. But as soon as I try to navigate a folder of video files (for example with only 4 mp4 files in it) I get really sluggish feedback. When I go to a folder with 20 mp4's it almost hangs indefinitely.

Re: Adding filesize to Thumbnails view
Are you sure? Cannot confirm any sluggishness. It's probably caused by something else. Can you show a screenshot of such a folder while being sluggish?

Re: Adding filesize to Thumbnails view
Seemed to be OK again earlier after a reboot but then later on again it started acting really slow again. Seems specific to viewing folders containing mp4 videos in thumbnail view with the overlay code. Can't replicate it consistently but I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can narrow it down to something more repeatable. Will update if it comes back, thank you.
