Showing folder size in details view #3944
Comments
This is something we have looked at in the past and decided against implementing due to the performance issues involved. |
Perhaps a setting for this would suffice? |
It's important that the preview is not slowed down any further, it's already slow for folder with many child folders. |
@gave92 Do you think that if we added a calculate button, that it should calculate all items, or would it be an individual option for each folder? |
@yaichenbaum I was thinking about a button that calculates size for all currently selected folders. |
@gave92 @yaichenbaum @d2dyno1 FolderSize.mp4 |
@cinqmilleans that doesn't look too bad, does it have any impact on performance at all? |
@yaichenbaum I did not see any noticeable loss. The sizes update last without blocking the user interface. We can therefore do everything even if the sizes have not finished loading: open a sub-folder, rename, .... |
@cinqmilleans do you want to add this as an experimental option? |
@yaichenbaum Yes of course. I prepare this. |
There are so many third-party file explorer's that offer showing folder size, e.g. Explorer++, Xinorbis, WizTree, TreeSize, still nothing that allows you to view folder size in Explorer. Files, as far as the UI is concerned, is much better than all those alternatives. It would be nice to see that functionality implemented.
