Total Commander

When dirsize calculation is evoked (Shift+Alt+Enter or cm_CountDirContent) then I suggest to show the size of empty dirs as 0 in stead of <DIR> so it is visible that the dirsize for the folder has been calculated.

Maye show 0 when there is nothing in the dir and show -0 or (0) when there are only empty directories and/or zero-length files in the dir.

Unfortunately this isn't possible - TC stores default value as 0, which is displayed as <dir>.

Then when the result of cm_CountDirContent for a dir results in 0, display something else than 0 and <DIR>.

I guess many users who don't use the DirSizeCalc plugin would appreciate a similar solution:

- After calculation show more details for 0 byte size folders: No files (just subfolders), 0 byte files only oder really empty.
- Distinguish different types of reparse points
- Maybe even inform the user about side effects of the calculation (things like folder contains junctions for which the size wasn't calculated).

So, default value -1?

In principle, yes - but the size is used in various places, e.g. to calculate the total size, and I fear that I will forget the one or other location and get wrong values...

Maybe it's less of a hassle the other way around: -1 only for dir size calculation, which will present "0" instead of "<dir>"? It's a workaround, but it does save you trouble and it saves people the trouble of thinking "have I pressed space on this directory already and deselected it afterwards, or not?" (apart from the feedback on Alt+Shift+Enter as OP stated).
