However, what is now the difference between the following commands?
- #417 Show Folder Sizes
- #487 Show Folder Sizes Now
Code: Select all
Tools > Customize List > Show Folder Sizes
Code: Select all
List | Size Column Context Menu: Show Folder Sizes
Ok, right, thank you.admin wrote: ↑04 Nov 2021 08:36
- #417 (Tools | Customize List | Show Folder Sizes) is a list property. It sticks. The "Show Folder Sizes" in the Size column context menu is the same toggle.
- #487 (View | Show Folder Sizes Now) does it only for the selected folders in the current list (or all of them if none is selected). Does not stick.
- Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Always show folder sizes: Overrides all of the above if ticked.
Not sure what you mean.
Was the keyboard shortcut for the command "Refresh Folder Sizes" deleted? I noticed the old keyboard command to do the same thing, Shift+F5, was moved to the command "Show Folder Sizes Now", and I couldn't find the new shortcut.admin wrote: ↑02 Nov 2021 12:37 I thought about it and came up with the following (next beta):Code: Select all
+ List | Size Column Context Menu: Added command "Refresh Folder Sizes". Use this command to calculate the actual folder sizes for the current list and refresh the cache (if caching is enabled). * View | Calculate Folder Sizes: This command now pulls the folder sizes from the cache, if any. To get fresh folder sizes, now use the new "Update Folder Sizes" command (see above).
Why not disable "show" from "refresh"? So, that "refresh" really only refreshes, if the folder sizes are shown already.admin wrote: ↑07 Nov 2021 16:36 Good point, I guess I should add a menu command for it, with a shortcut.
Now, if we had these two together in the View menu, I'm not sure if there could be a better wording? It might be a bit confusing like this:
"Show Folder Sizes Now"
"Refresh Folder Sizes"
Note that "Refresh Folder Sizes" would also show them if they are not shown already. And if there is no caching enabled, both commands would be functionally identical. Hmm.
