Keep calculated folder sizes (Shift+F5) on list refresh
Posted: 29 Jul 2026 15:56
Folder sizes that were calculated for individual folders with Shift+F5 get discarded after a list refresh when Auto-Refresh is enabled. This seems like a good idea when doing a full list refresh with F5 or when switching to a different folder and back. But it seems unnecessary or counterproductive when a list refresh was triggered by creating/deleting/moving a file/folder in the current list.
An example would be to calculate the sizes of several folders to decide which ones to delete or move. Deleting/moving one of these folders will discard the folder sizes of all the other folders of interest.
I guess it might be difficult or too costly for XYplorer to monitor whether the folders with folder sizes have changed after a list refresh triggered by creating/deleting/moving a file/folder? If so, maybe these folder sizes could get a "~" added to them to indicate that changes were made to the current list and folder sizes could be inaccurate/outdated.
