Status bar question

[selukwe]

Is there a way to always show the drive capacity on the status bar? I know that this works when clicking on a particular drive in This PC. But it would be worthwhile if it could be set to show the capacity always.

By drive capacity you mean total capacity (used + free)?

[selukwe]

Yes.

[admin]

But that's boring information because it never changes.

[selukwe]

The point is not about updating such info. With more drives, it gives one an instant idea what's the full capacity of the respective drive. Status bar could easily accommodate such an info.

Would it be possible to add it, perhaps even as an option?

[admin]

You get the free bytes always, and the used and free bytes when there is nothing selected. I think this is enough.

[selukwe]

I quite miss such a small additional info. All important data would be immediately visible on the first glance on status bar.

Would you please consider adding it?

If you are interested, something that is currently possible, you could set a script via CEA that displays the total size in the statusbar when you click on it.

[selukwe]

Yes, I am, though showing it without having to click on the status bar would a neater solution. Can you guide me how to do it?

Code: Select all

status "Capacity [<get driveletter>:] = " . formatbytes(<get freespace '' 1> + <get usedspace '' 1>);

[selukwe]

Where shall I place this code?

[selukwe]

OK, figured out. But this works only for the particular folder which was opened when pasting this code in Settings...

[selukwe]

It doesn't work. Formatting doesn't return a correct capacity info in one number.

[highend]

It does return exactly the capacity in one value here, as it is shows when opening the computer node...

[selukwe]

For me it shows this - see attachment.

How to translate this into: capacity 9.09 TB ?
