7.57 & visualdirsize strange behavior

[krasusczak]

Hi

When i press F3 on dir in version 7.56a i get info "no files selected"

In new beta's versions of 8 & 7.57 RC when you press F3 on dir we get information from visualdirsize about dir (cool thing) [if you have installed this plugin]

Unfortunately in final version 7.57 when yo press F3 behaviour from previously version back with information "no files selected"..

I thought that in final 7.57 - F3 will still open visualdirsize but no, is this a bug/withdrawn change or maybe something else?
Maybe final version 8 will be with this function?

Since 7.57 is just a bugfix release, it is not supposed to bring new features. Those you will find in TC 8.0.
Also if you check HISTORY.TXT, you will find this entry:

21.02.12 Fixed: Removed code trying to show directories in F3 (was only partially backported to TC 7.57 and didn't work properly)

So yes, it was removed intentionally because it was causing some troubles. And yes, it looks like this feature will be in 8.0 final.
BTW, you can get some basic info about a directory even without plugins.

OK my mistake i didn't check history file.

Believe i know that i can check info about dir in many ways but it doesn't change fact that in visualdirsize it looks better..

You can still use Ctrl+Q (quick view panel) in TC 7.57. I removed it because it's a new feature, and it didn't work properly (e.g. when there was no plugin, an error was shown).
