@petermad

For some reason the Danish translation is not enclosed anymore.

It's by mistake. Sorry for that.
Your lng file will be included in next beta.

@Translators
1) If your language isn't included in package contact me by mail. Thank you.
2) New button hint will be displayed in version 1.3. I don't want to change the lng file in this version.

Hello

I’ve released stable version (1.2) of VisualDirSize.
Download from totalcmd.net

Changes:

1.2 [03.17.2006]
- Updated LNG files

BTW I’m still waiting for Czech and Nederland translations. When I get them I’ll update them on totalcmd.net

Also new beta is ready (1.3).
This version contain brand new function called Block Chart. This idea of representing data is taken from DirGraph (http://www.spillett.net/~dirgraph/)
This new mode needs testing. It's good idea to download DirGraph and compare it's results with VDS results.

Block Chart display max 3 levels of subdirectories.
It's because algorithm optimization.

Scanning Filter works also with this mode.

Changes:

1.3 beta1 [03.17.2006]
- Added block chart. The idea of this mode is taken from great DirGraph program.
You can download it here: http://www.spillett.net/~dirgraph/
- Added new option in Configuration "Scale factor in Block mode".
- Added. Scan Filtering also works in block mode.
- Added. Now it's possible to use wildcards in folder names when using Scan Filtering.
- Fixed small errors in Configuration.
- Added new help file rewritten in HTML.
- Some other small improvements.

Hello !

- Thank you for the new beta !
- I just tested it a bit, it looks promising.

- Here, the “Block Chart” seems be working OK.

- Some annoying details, though :

- In the dialogue, the strings :

[Filter]
…
5=Utiliser les “Expressions régulières”
6=Exclure les fichiers qui correspondent

don't fit in French. Just for example, "match" in English is "correspondre" in French. Please, enlarge these controls, there is room enough. Paul Vansumsen-friend will provide the updated French LNG very soon

- With any Chart, the sizes UNITS stay in English. Moreover, I ought say you that the usual system is out of date, since officially now KB means 1,000 bytes, and not 1,024. It should be KiB - MiB - GiB - and so on, since I suppose that the plugin counts in binary.

- You could use the translated units from the TC currently used LNG, it's not complicated to find it in the <wincmd.ini> file…
- Then the unit-strings to consider is 5263=… (and others maybe, to check…)
- Here, it's updated in French according to the norm. This issue is not solved yet for all languages, although this is not a big deal to do…
- Or else, you could simply add some lines in the LNG of the plugin to translate the units at will…

Kind regards,
Claude
Clo

Note : I plan a French translation of the Help Just a few days delay…

Corrected. Please redownload from my site.

Thank you. Please remind him about mistake in section [Config] 5="Import TC settings".

- With any Chart, the sizes UNITS stay in English. Moreover, I ought say you that the usual system is out of date, since officially now KB means 1,000 bytes, and not 1,024. It should be KiB - MiB - GiB - and so on, since I suppose that the plugin counts in binary.

Maybe it's official now, but I cannot find program which use such notation. I'll change it when more application will use this new system.

Note : I plan a French translation of the Help Just a few days delay…

Good to hear. If you find any problems with translating (mistakes, imprecise in help) feel free to contact me.

Hello !

- Anyway, the units are not translatable, and in French we have local units.
- Like I said previously, maybe adding a few entries in the LNG could solve the issue, since each translator could write the appropriate units.
For instance :

Byte=""
; for short below :
B=""
KB=""
MB=""
GB=""

• Else : I sent you the French Help (an a few more…), I hope you got it ?

 Kind regards,
Claude

Ok. I'll implement it for next beta.

I sent you the French Help (an a few more…), I hope you got it ?

No, I haven't recived it yet. To be sure please sent it one more time.

@Sombra

Is planed add the key F3 ?

Hotkeys have been disabled since version 1.1 beta1.
I asked users here about what keys should I used in VisualDirSize but so far I haven't received any answer.

[Sombra]

Sorry, I did not explain myself well . When the cursor is over an directory the possibility of push the key F3 and view in a window (lister) the chart with visual dir size, idem as text, images, etc.

Hotkeys have been disabled since version 1.1 beta1.
I asked users here about what keys should I used in VisualDirSize but so far I haven't received any answer.

Of course, my sugestion for you ask, would be:
B: Bar chart
P: Pie chart
K: Block chart?
this shortcuts can be intuitive for english language, but for diferent language... uuuumh..

[djorge]

i've tested VSD 1.3 beta and it looks amazing. Good work!

Just one whish: In block view mode, there always an empty space that is not related to a directory. You could use this empty space to show the available space in the disk.

Hello !

• Thanks to add this, that should solve this issue.

- I have sent you the help-folder two days ago, as a SQX archive attached to an email…

- I've placed it on a server of mine now, you can get it directly HERE.
- I resend the text of that email from the board here, hoping you'll get it because it's important…
