Ah yes! I have been following that thread for some time now since it just seems like perfect timing for the issue there and the problem that was encountered here. So far it is looking good!

Ok, nitpicking mode on :D
* Will now pop up only 1 dialog. Allow input of both value and unit. So "256 B", "1 KB", "5 MB", "1 GB", or "1 TB". Also case does not matter for the unit.
GB and Gb are actually two different things. As far as filesystems are concerned, using the former only makes sense. Maybe you should say that all the units, regardless of the case, are interpreted as multiple of bytes.

Nice script btw!

Haha I actually was going to explain it but then decided not too. I was expecting that everyone knows that we're talking about bytes and not bits. But yeah, I should really explain that just in case.

And thanks! :biggrin:

I have an idea for some new features for this.

1. include the option to let a user choose from a list of pre-defined formats. Such as Floppy, CD, DVD, BLU-RAY, etc... That would automatically tell the script what the total selected size can be as those formats are standardized.

2. Load all USB devices into a list and let the user select one of them. The script should then automatically figure out how much room is left on that USB drive and select files accordingly.

Just some ideas.
I develop scripts that integrate media functionality into Xyplorer.
