questions about file count - other software?
Posted: 14 Dec 2017 18:05
I'm looking for a replacement for Windows Explorer - frustrated I can't get a file COUNT.
I see from *https://www.xyplorer.com/release_16.80.php* I can get both count and size in the same column with xyplorer, but you say building the cache takes time.
*1) Would it run more quickly if you were to provide a separate option to get file COUNT only?* ( (I don't care about the size of folder - that's an easy swag just opening the folder and looking at file sizes.)
_Couple more questions:_
2) Is xyplorer doing the counting - i.e., NOT relying on Microsoft (seems Microsoft is not populating that field with their operating system, based on an attempt to use Commander XE and getting _no_ file count).
3) How long does it take to build the cache - i.e., hours? overnight? days?
Thanks in advance for the information.
