More Status bar customisation

Post by zer0 »

I really like how Status bar's 3rd section shows an EXE's version when I select one. I think that's an inspired idea.

However, I also think a few more customisation options wouldn't go amiss. For example, here are a couple of thoughts:

a) Storage medium percentages - I'd select a few files from the list and in that 3rd section it would show what percentage of a DVD-5 (or DVD-9, CD, Zip100/250, etc, configurable in INI or Config) those files would take up. A possible template could be this: [Name of medium] - [% free/size total]. This is particularly useful when combined with context menu options, such as Send To and those that media burning programs integrate into shell.

b) Audio/video file information - for audio files I'd like to see customisation that would allow showing of ID3 tag info, bitrate (incl CBR/VBR), frequency and so on. For video files, I'd like to see video codec information, resolution, video bitrate, audio format, VBR/CBR, audio bitrate. Coincidentally, some of this information is already available on the preview window.

Obviously, this would never be a priority and I don't expect it to be. However, having this would put another layer of icing on the cake that is XYplorer.
