[RESOLVED] Status Bar should be able to inform about length of path

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

I suggest expanding the syntax [viewtopic.php?p=40544#p40544] of the Status Bar with a variable for displaying data about length of path and of number of signs left until the 260 characters limit of Windows

This would allow users to make an informed decisions based on mathematical data about renaming and coping or moving in reference to safety / danger of using very long paths and names [instead of relaying on visual guesses]

[void]

Include the following in the statusbar format to show the number of wchars in the full path:

pathlen: [len:$fullpath:]



[len:]
path-len:



There's also a Full Path Length column available.

So half of my suggestion is already there. And the ability to see that data also in a column is even more helpful

How about [not initially proposed by me] ability to see length of name of a selected item? Is it possible?

[void]

There is a Filename Length, Stem Length and Extension Length property.

namelen: [len:$name:]

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

OK, so its all there

Although I would like to point out that the name of Filename Length column might be confusing as it also shows data for folders - and there is not Folder Length counterpart. Should not then this be renamed to Item Length?

[void]

It should have been named:

Name Length

The next alpha update will use this property name.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Everything 1.5.0.1348a removes filename-len:

Use name-len: instead.
