Hello all

There is many new features that need testing. Please check in history what's changed.
Note that it's beta and may have bugs. So do not use except for testing.

PS.
I need help with translations for other languages. I hope that you help me with it
PS2.
Again I have problem with shortcuts... It seems that it's impossible to assign such keys as: N P A S V W F 1-7 F5 F7 Ctrl+C Ctrl+A Ctrl+P in Lister interface.
I don't know what keys will be intuitive for users in this situation. Waiting for suggestion...

- Added right double-click to go to parent folder
- Added configuration dialog
- Support for language files
- Support for colors schemes
- Added option to sort directories/files names like WinXp do. (works like SortUpper=3 in wincmd.ini).

I wanted to help you to translate it into Polish but... I see you don't need it 
Some suggestions:
- It would be nice if I could turn off the toolbar.
- You could add the context menu.
- After clicking in one of the bars I can move into the folder, is there any way to go back (to the parent directory)?

Yes, simply double-click with right mouse button.After clicking in one of the bars I can move into the folder, is there any way to go back (to the parent directory)?
BTW It's also possible to double-click part of pie and move into the corresponding folder.After clicking in one of the bars I can move into the folder
Nice plugin, just an idea what about the possibility to group the items by category, it would be nice if the plugin could use the entries defined in 'define colors by file type' to display the chart bars according to this.
ex if in 'Define colors by file type' I have the entry :
>Images (jpg jpeg png gif bmp tif)
Directory Size will compute all the file ending with the above ext and display one bar
It should be an other button in the buttonbar which should allow to group items according to the entries defined in 'Define colors by file type' if no extension are matched all items will be displayed as usual

Well, I have the Dutch translation for you. Where do you want me to send it?
Here is what I experienced:
1. In the options screen, a few places are not big enough for the translation. They need to be just a little bit bigger. The places concerned are: Aperiance (shouldn't this be appearance??) and Import TC Settings.
2. When the options window is open and I go to another program, then return to TC, the dialog is gone and I can't get to it and have the kill TC.
3. The tool tip "Show only directories", should say "Show files and folders" when it is already only showing directories.

Please send it to kzoladek(at )o2.pl Thank you.I have the Dutch translation for you. Where do you want me to send it?

Already corrected. Please redownload DirSize.1. In the options screen, a few places are not big enough for the translation. They need to be just a little bit bigger. The places concerned are: Aperiance (shouldn't this be appearance??) and Import TC Settings.
3. The tool tip "Show only directories", should say "Show files and folders" when it is already only showing directories.
I know the problem. I'll try to fix it...2. When the options window is open and I go to another program, then return to TC, the dialog is gone and I can't get to it and have the kill TC.
