TC11: What is the meaning of numbers in the Frequently Used Directories?

Post by *DVV »

When the directories history is shown (e.g. by pressing Alt+Down), the bottom part of the list (where the Most Frequently Used Directories are located) contains paths plus numbers at the right. What is the meaning of these numbers?

Probably makes sense to add this explanation to the documentation!
I was suspecting it somehow represented the "weight" of the items, but it was not clear how exactly. I was even thinking about Fibonacci numbers :)

When using history thinning (which is the default), the numbers mean the number of times you either did something in that directory, or stayed there for more than 5 seconds. Directories you just pass by are not counted, e.g. when you go to
c:\windows\system32
via
c:\
c:\windows
and then do something in c:\windows\system32, then only c:\windows\system32 will be counted.
