How to Exclude Specific Paths from Folder Size Calculation in XYplorer

Post by hannaconner »

Hi:
I am using XYplorer and have mounted folders from a NAS using WebDAV. Some of these folders have very complex structures, which causes XYplorer to frequently freeze when opening parent paths due to the folder size calculation. I am looking for a way to either ignore specific paths from the folder size calculations or to set a default behavior where folder sizes are not calculated for network paths. Is there a setting or a workaround in XYplorer to prevent folder size calculation for specific or networked paths?

In the next XYTB version you can do this:

Code: Select all

extlist("showfoldersizesexclude"); //open "No Folder Size Calculation - Paths" dialog
