Size column in Custom Columns shows 0 for dirs i.s.o. <DI

Post by *edelcom »

While it shows <DIR> in the normal view.

Is there a way to have the <DIR> in the custom view ?

Also in the default view, there are space after the size or <DIR>, in the custom view column the size is right-aligned. If the next column is f.i. the date/time, the information is much hard to read than in the default view.

Great work, though ...

Hi,

I recommand to do the following when you have a right-aligned column followed by a left-aligned column. Example:
1st column: [tc.size" "]
2nd column: [tc.writedate]

This creates a conditional expression which will insert some (maybe more than in this example) spaces behind the size column if it's not empty.

Thanks. It did not occur to me that you could enter characters of your own. Indeed, entering a couple of spaces after the [=tc.size] definition does the trick.
Apart from Delphi, I think Total Commander is the only software that has been installed on ALL my PC's for more than 15 years now.
Buy licences ! Only way to let developers keep on making the software you want to use !

Not at the moment, since this custom column is supposed to return numbers, so that you can use it in a search.
