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

[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,

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.

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.

edelcom,

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