F3 on folders

[LonerD]

F3 not worked on directories.
If I press F3 on the folder - displaying the error "No files selected"
Why?
The directory (by definition) - a special kind of files, which contain links to other files.

Need ability to call on the F3 folder (at least optionally).
There are plugins that can browse the directory (for example, VisualDirSize).

Ofc F3 doesnt work on FOLDERS as its to list FILES...
FOLDER != FILE ...

Why wouldn't it work on Folders? QuickView does. QuickView is just an in-line Lister.

QuickView of a Folder:

P:\USR\FOO\Documents\zWebDev\Clients\SonicsV

Total space occupied:
61,896 bytes in 3 file(s)

(= 60k)

Actual space used (considering cluster size)
on source drive: 69,632 Bytes

You can actually do this by calling Lister from buttonbar, "start" menu or user command.

Example:
Define user command em_lister with line:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.EXE /S=L /i=LISTER.INI
(of course you can change path/name of INI file)
parameters:
%P%N

Define hotkey for command - for ex. F8 (i never use F8 for delete files)

Install VisualDirSize as first plugin.

Note: with INI different than "main" you can use different plugins/order of plugins

Now you can call Lister on folders with F8.

That's what I'm doing, I use the plugin VisualDirSize and button on buttonbar.
But it would be easy and logical to press the same key F3 on all objects - files and folders for viewing all objects.

LonerD,

If I press F3 on the folder - displaying the error "No files selected"

The directory (by definition) - a special kind of files, which contain links to other files.

Please press Enter instead.

parameters:
%P%N

Install VisualDirSize as first plugin.

if you use:

%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.EXE /S=L:PVisualDirSize

then you don't have to put VisualDirSize as first plugin.
