DirSizeCalc 2.22 (content plugin)

Is it possible to define custom units ex. DVD or CD, so the display will be like 2.3CD or 0.7DVD

Sounds like an interesting idea.

Please consider that there are many "traps" in size-calculation:

- 1 File with 3 GB is 4.3 CDs. Or not? You have to "divide" and/or pack the file - maybe you need more or less CDs.

- 10 Files, each 500 MB -> 5 GB is 7.1 CDs. Or not? Maybe you need 10 CDs, and every CD will have empty space of 200 MB ...

- if you calculate 2.3 CDs for project A, 4.8 CDs for project B and 5.7 CDs for C - how many CDs will you need totally? 2.3+4.8+5.7=12,8 or 3+5+6=14?

Maybe special programs like "Size me" can do this rather complex job better.

I'm aware of that situation.
But i need it mostly to check whether some folder(s) will fit on a cd/dvd even usb stick or not.

I've edited LNG file and it works if you choose kB / MB / GB (before: KiB/MiB/GiB) fields for your custom view.
The problem is: this is not working for non-built-in prefixes (like: All_Dims).

I works fine here. Could you please post the altered language file entry?

[fenix_productions]

Altered entries:

Code: Select all

; Standard unit names
B|kB|MB|GB=B|kB|MB|GB
B|KiB|MiB|GiB=B|kB|MB|GB

; Units
10=B
20=kB
21=MB
22=GB
30=kB
31=MB
32=GB

Custom column uses All_Dims2 field.

You're obviously not using an up to date beta version of DirSizeCalc. Please update and try again.

In the current version there is just only line to change:

Code: Select all

B|KiB|MiB|GiB|kB|MB|GB=B|KiB|MiB|GiB|kB|MB|GB

I have seen u as solution provider, but you are ignoring users like me who are new to the forum as well as TC configuration/plugin.
Can you kindly explain for the novice like me how to use this... every application has installation procedure and usage process too.

Right off you expect people to know the in depth knowledge of TC and then all the 'GURUs' start discussing the intrinsic details which really are just on a very high EXPERT cloud.

Guys if this is a forum for expert users only then my appologies, but if it is for a new user too, then could someone explain how to use this contraption, i did install this using my understanding.

I have Win XP Pro SP3 desktop running TC 7.01 32bit.
Configurations->Options->Plugins->Contents plugins .WDX Configure
shows the plugin is listed. Now what...... All i wanted to display the size of the folders when I open a drive/folder.

Thanks if anyone can help me out.

In the files panel:
Shift+F1→Configure custom colums→[New]→[Add column]→[+]→dirsizecalc→size→Default

Again from the files panel:
Shift+F1→Your new custom column

This is about use WDX plugins, not about Dirsizecalc

Hi,
first, thanks for this plugin.
I gave it a go, and I like it.
I have a problem though.
I have large directory structures with empty sub-dirs that may contain empty sub-trees (meaning that there is a directory structure, however there are no files in it at all).
For example
root
root\dir1\dir2
root\dir1\dir2\file.dat
root\dir1\dir2\dir3
root\dir1\dir2\dir3\file.dat
root\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4
root\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4\dir5
root\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4\dir6

Is there any way to delete all empty directories in one go? More precisely: remove all those directories that do not have a file in it or does not have a directory under them with a file.
Currently, I have to repeat this (using your plugin):
1. search for empty dirs
2. are there any? no: stop, yes: continue
3. feed to listbox
4. delete all
5. go step 1
Above procedure clean up all empty dirs eventually, however it is quite a burden.
I am looking for a more efficient way - either using this plugin, or another.
Thank you.

Give a try to this:

Please use the rule "Contains Files = No" in step 1 instead. This will find all folders contaning just other folders contaning no files. Step 5 isn't required anymore.

DirSizeCalc 2 is now available for download after a long betatesting.

The most important new features in version 2 are:

• There is now a much better documentation included. It's available in English and German.
• Graphical configuration tool "DirSizeCalc settings" can be used to change all possible settings in a comfortable way.
• Custom fields can be added to be able to use different behaviors simultaneously.
• Calculation in background is now the standard loading behavior. "On demand" can be configured as well.
• It's possible to configure calculation only for the direct subdirectory.
• Caching of already calculated directories. To Recalculate the command cm_refresh (Ctrl+R) must be used.
• Differ between several different kinds of 0 byte size directories.
• File size display now confirms to ISO standards.
• New field "Compression Ratio" indicates the ratio between file size and compressed file size.
• The file size display for files on FTP servers, in file system plugins and in archives is now supported.
• ...and much more!

A full list of changes is available in English. The file "history.txt" can be found in DirSizeCalc's installation directory.

Thank you for the new version

The string:

1001=To apply changes you have to restart Total Commander.

is still missing in the [eng] section of the language file.


If I change the path to the settings file from the "Paths" tab in the "DirSizeCalc Settings" dialog, it has no effect - the dialog can only be used to show the location, not to change it.
