DirInfo Plugin

[Troops]

DirInfo is a Lister-Plugin designed to work in QuickView Mode for showing information on directories like TreeSize and/or SequoiaView.
It is in an early alpha-stage, so don't expect it to be bugfree

After installation move the cursor over a directory and press Ctrl+Q to start the plugin.

Hello !

• Nice, no huge bug till now…

• However, there is an annoyance :
- When I use F3 for a text-file under the cursor, your plug-in takes always precedence,
then I've to set to "Text" each time, it's exasperating.
- This occurs despite it's the last in the order of the plug-ins for Lister…

• And of course, please a small LNG to translate the strings…

 Kind regards,
Claude
Clo

Thanks
But "Ouch" -- I didn't add ListGetDetectString to the exports list :/ Will be fixed in the next version. That should make the plugin less hungry

Thanks for the plugin.
Some bug/suggestions.

1. I realize it's only alpha version but it would be nice to have some configuration options (colour definitions, default view, etc)

2. It would be nice to see the legend of the colours).

3. I don't like the way how it works when I'm at the top of a subfolder (at [..]). It shows the structure of the parent folder (and I can understand it) but I would prefer it showed the structure of the current directory.

4. When I'm at TreeMap view and choose one part of it, it shows the full path of it with its size. Unfortunately when I change folder the label doesn't disappear and shows the last one (not valid any more).

5. Sometimes in TreeMap view it shows \ in wrong way. Eg. instaed of showing 'c:\windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE' it shows 'c:\window\system32\\configSOFTWARE'

1. will follow with one of the next releases.
2. hmm, don't know yet where to display such...
3. Behaviour changed. But now I have to find a way to display the root folder...
4. fixed.
5. fixed too.

Thanks for testing

File is available from the same location.

Thanks

4. I think the legend could be available at an additional button and of course in configuration option. It doesn't have to be always shown.

2djk:
I will look into this

Version 0.1.0.34
+ Added basic configuration dialog, although the "Remember..." function is not fully working yet. Colors may already be set (also may be imported from Total Commander)
* some minor bugfixes

Location is still the same (see Post #1)

Thanks for the new version!

I noticed the following:
I have an ISO-image on my NTFS-hdd with the size of
7,6 GB. But dirinfo indicates a size of only 3,68 GB.

Is it possible that dirinfo miscalculates the size of such large files?

1. View mode should be remembered. If I only want to see just a folders in TreeView then browsing through them in opposite panel shouldn't make my choice forgotten.
2. The same behaviour should be applied for TreeMap.
3. I understand that colouring works for files extensions but what about other settings? I have two colour values here: for one hour old files and files one day old. There is the possibility to import colours sets via clicking on "Load from TC". Will them be shown some way?
4. "Delete colour" button is needed near by "Load from TC" for removing one (selected) colour from the list.

Version 0.1.0.35
* added basic unicode support in TreeView mode
- fixed bug with files > 4GB (thanks to StickyNomad)
* added navigation by pressing enter or backspace key in TreeView mode
* added contextmenu in TreeView mode

2fenix_productions
1. Absolutely I will fix that in the next version.
2. Yup.
3a. Hmm I haven't got an idea how to sort this out, yet.
3b. The imported colors should appear directly in the list. (The colors that have been selected for specific extensions)
4. Button added.

2StickyNomad
This was a bug that has now been fixed (I hope).

How can I handle "DirSize" and "DirInfo" by using the "Quickview" shortcut (it appears, of course, always the highest ranked plugin)?

Maybe I am just a bit confused, this time
