Size computing when moving directory on the same disk

Devil · Post by *Devil » 2009-09-13, 11:56 UTC

Hello,
when I move directory on the same disk (from one directory to another), now is the size of it computed every time, not only when it can be renamed like in 7.04 and earlier. That means if I want move/rename directory with few thousand files I must wait few minutes until it count its size and then just rename it. It was better in the older version in which the program first try to just rename the directory and only when this fail (open handle, ...) did it this way.
Is there way to switch to old behaviour? I mean I want to compute the size when I copy things, so I can't disable the option in Options.

Try Shift+F6.

Thanks, but this is not what I mean - SHIFT+F6 is good to just rename file/dir, but not to move it to another dir.

You may change path while renaming dir.

I think TC should 'use shift+f6' itself when user moves dir within volume.

Yes, I think so too and it was like this in 7.04, but in 7.50 it's no longer! That's exactly my problem

There is no size computing, I just checked it.

You probably experienced this problem:

Thanks a lot, it's exactly that. I miss out that the dirs are actually moved and it hangs after it. Problem solved

Should be moved to English or to confirmed Bugs Forum.

Hello, Christian.

When moving the folder c:\utils\copy1\large_deeply_nested_folder to C:\utils\copy2, Total Commander 7.50a does not calculate the disk space occupied by large_deeply_nested_folder before moving it from c:\utils\copy1 to c:\utils\copy2.

When copying the same folder tree from c:\utils\copy1 to c:\utils\copy2, T.C. does calculate the disk space occupied by large_deeply_nested_folder. (I.e. CountMarked=1 has been set.)

So I agree with Samuel, the thread should be moved into the Fixed Bugs section.

Total Commander 7.50a
Windows XP Prof SP2, 32bit

Kind regards,
Karl

OK, thanks, I will move it to fixed bugs!
