cm_CountDirContent when Refresh Panel enabled.

Config | Refresh:
Auto-Refresh when the file system changes:
[X] Refresh when files are created, deleted and renamed.
[X] Also when size, date, or attributes change.
[X] Don't react to updates while in the background.
[X] Update footer (total number of files)
After calculating folder sizes (
cm_CountDirContent), if any of the folders in question are being written to,
then the size calculation gets cleared and goes back to <
DIR >.
Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, or a (mis)feature, but its definitely annoying. . .
Perhaps an asterisk could be added to the size calculation to indicate it has changed, instead of clearing it completely?

This is done to tell the user that the number is no longer valid. any better ideas? Since the refresh messages come in quite often, I cannot recalculate the value in the background all the time, this would be very slow with big subdirs...

The asterisk after the size (though looks like before the size is easier to notice, and looks better) -- so if it was:
Code: Select all
[cache4] 120,000 k
Then:
[cache4] *120,000 k
OR:
[cache4] +120,000 k

I agree: A semiprecious number is even better than none.
What about:

Right, the "approximate" symbol in math ;=)

I will add it to my wish list.
