@newbies: Quickly copy the file size to the clipboard

Open the
Customize File Associations dialog from the
Open With button, and enter this line as a new Portable File Association:
Code: Select all
|"Copy file size in bytes" *>::copytext <cursize>
CustomizeFileAssociations.png
Now you can quickly copy the byte count of the selected (focused) file to the clipboard using the
Open With button. I use this function many times every day.
Only available in the professional edition.

@newbies: If you're getting "Failed to open ::copytext <cursize>" you must enable "Quick scripting" in the configuration (Configuration->Advanced)

Good point. Actually I wonder whether I should remove this setting!
Has anybody ever turned this off??? I don't think so...

Wonder why it fails for system files eg pagefile.sys
::echo <cursize> returns zero.

Actually i asked myself why i can disable this. Do i have any advantage by disabling, e.g. saving some RAM?

The only reason was safety (scripting can be dangerous).
