Display directory size

Post by *DickB »

Has anyone developed a plug in to display directory size? The windows show size of individual files but not directories.

1. Forum search: http://ghisler.ch/board/search.php
2. Enter "display directory size plugin".
3. Press Enter.
4. Click the 1st match.

Also you can:
1. Press Space on a directory to calculate its size.
2. Press Alt+Shift+Enter to get sizes for all directories.
3. Create a button (or start menu entry) with command cm_CountDirContent
4. Create a user-defined command for cm_CountDirContent and assign an alias or hotkey

Other places that could interest you:
1. TC help file
2. The F1 button to jump to context sensitive help
3. The FAQ: http://ghisler.com/faq.htm
4. The TC-Wiki: http://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
5. The inoffical plugin site: http://totalcmd.net
6. The offical plugin site: http://ghisler.com/addons.htm

You do not need any plugin to see directory size !
You can use the following commands :
A) cm_CountDirContent to see size of the all subfolder in full view ([ctrl]+F2)
B) cm_GetFileSpace on any selection. The result is shown in a wonderfull popup window !
C) just hit [space] or on a folder to fill the zize in full view ([ctrl]+F2)

If you really wan a plugin or smth fancier, give a look to Visual Dir Size on totalcmd.net.

btw the standard help do/can not know all about all plugins, you should search on this forum and/or give a look to the plugin list and use http://totalcmd.net....

for the command give a look to the cm_CommandBrowser if you use TC 7 or just read the file TOTALCMD.INC..... and just for finger give a look to the keyboard help
:wink:

Read carefully what icfu responded to you ! (you can even look on his sig :twisted: )
