XYplorer Beta Club

Right now, XYplorer shows the real (uncompressed) size instead of the actual compressed one when files has been compressed using compact.exe:
As you see, "Space Used" should be stating what "Tamaño on disco" is. Is this possible to do?

Compact has been used with the LZX algorithm.

Yep, will do after the next release.

Great!

Thinking about it again: Isn't the "Space used" field 1) pretty boring, and b) confusing because it's not the same as "Used space" with drives?

So I tend to replace it with "Size on disk" always. If "Size" and "Size on disk" differ then you know there must be some compression anywhere in that branch.

Or maybe that's what you meant anyway.

---------------------------
Edit: Ah no! Just saw that in Explorer "Size on disk" is actually counting clusters, so it does what XY does in "Space used", only that Explorer takes compression into account. So I will just call it "Size on disk" as well, and make it behave the same.

BTW, Win8.1 has a curious bug here. If a file is smaller than one cluster it shows Size on Disk as zero.

Yes, that's what I meant .

This should also affect the "Show Used Space" option of the "Size" column. More work than expected...

Well, it seems it's going to be even more work .
Tried 22.70.0101 and:

1. If I select a folder, the "Size on disk" section in the info panel shows the size on bytes no matter what (folder can be in the MB, GB, KB, TB, etc.), but if I select a file it doesn't show the size in bytes unless the file is, it seems, under 100MB. Is this intended? Is not that I miss the size on bytes, just curious.

2. "Size on disk" in both info panel and column are still not taking into account compression (I have disabled folder size caching):

AArrrghhh!!

It worked before, but then I got carried away with the column and changed this and that and stopped looking at the properties window. Well, tomorrow...

Well, I looked into it now and can confirm 1) (better in next beta), but not 2). Hmm.

I've checked other directories that are also compressed and they all show the original size.
I just tried compacting a folder and the same, XYplorer still shows me the original size. Ha! I know why it's not showing the compressed sizes.

If I use "/EXE" XYplorer doesn't show the compressed size because the directories aren't marked to be compressed. If I only use
It does.

Yep, XY needs the mark. I could do it without it but that would slow *everything* down. NO way.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too, it will be hell on earth checking every single entry.
Could you add an option to "force scan" for compressed files? Like "Calculate Folder Sizes" but manually indicating that the folders I'm calculating the sizes of have compressed files inside.

Why don't you just obey and make the mark?

It shows wrong info. Are you sure you calculate size on disk correctly?

Is the Compressed attribute set for that file?
