Hello,
Is there a way to clear the Folder Size Cache each time I exit/close XYplorer?
Thank you

Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions
Other Events
Exit
Action = Run script
Code: Select all
$batFile = "%TEMP%\~xy_delete_fsc.bat";
$batContent = <<<>>>
@echo off
:CheckProcess
tasklist | findstr /i "xyplorer.exe" >nul 2>&1
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
timeout /t 2 >nul
goto CheckProcess
)
timeout /t 2 >nul
del /f /q "<xydata>\fsc.dat"
>>>;
$result = writefile($batFile, $batContent, , "utf8");
if ($result != 0) { run lax("cmd" /c "$batFile"), "%TEMP%", 0, 0; }

Theoretically, I think if you just make the fsc.dat file read only it will perform as you wish (session only cache), empty its contents too if desired, so it is 0 bytes.

You would get an access denied message box every time you save settings / exit XY

Ah ok, I hadn't tested the theory, another theory then to workaround that is you could instead set a cea exit event that used SC savesettings to only save the files you wanted, and disable the main config setting.

Wouldn't work as well, the
fsc.dat is saved regardless if you disable the save settings on exit

Are you sure?
I don't use Folder Sizes so am not that familiar with the dynamics, but from memory of testing I think you are mistaken.

Yeah, I‘ve tried it before I wrote the script

Strange, after a quick test I can't confirm fsc.dat getting saved when the main save settings on exit config option is disabled, but maybe there are other factors at play.

Very strange, I've tried it several times with 0700 and it saved the file cache each time with save settings on exit disabled...
I find the behaviour of savesettings strange as well.
1023 = all
savesettings 1023; = No fsc.dat is created
savesettings; = fsc.dat is created

fsc.dat is written only if the cache is dirty (if it is assumed to be different from the contents of fsc.dat).
