XYplorer Beta Club

Hi
I would like preview section of info tool bar to show some statistics about the selected folder. At the moment it does not show anything. For example it can show as a list
-size of the folder (I know this can be seen in properties)
-number of subfolders (I know this can be seen in properties)
-number of files in it (I know this can be seen in properties)
-number of image files, text files, music files etc as seperate lists
-average file size of the content
-average folder sizes of subfolders(if there are any)
-List of files and subfolders as a text list (selectable text, ot it can be copied)
-Name(s) of biggest files and subfolders with sizes shown

I think that these statistical datas could be useful if they were aprt of folder previewing.

Actually I like those stats very much and would be great to have them in XY. But I guess it would take a lot of time to gather all those info. My only concern is bloat here. If its not then my vote for this.
Infact, something very close to what you just mentioned has been discussed here.
This topic was about disk management and eventually we decided that having this in XY would not be appropriate since there are so many other apps which are good at this.
My favorite is: jdiskreport.

Well the thing is that preview is an isolated use. So if the user enables preview for the folder, he/she should expect some delay. As long as this new additional code would not bloat XYplorer``s main functions, I would be happy to wait little bit to gather folder sttaistics under preview. And to be honest it should not ake a long time to gather the list of the folder content at least.

Yes, it would be possible. However... there's a couple of other stuff before... see roadmap...

Is there a link to "roadmap" ?
