It proposes to add a display size of two decimal places for size format "Auto"
Now two places after the decimal point are displayed to 9, above is only one place.
Displaying the size of two decimal places
Re: Displaying the size of two decimal places
Added to my TODO list, thanks for the suggestion.
Re: Displaying the size of two decimal places
Hi void,
I've been using Everything for a long time. Very useful program. So first I would like to say THANKS!!
The one big thing that's missing for me is the file/folder size accuracy.
I would like to suggest to add the option in Tools > Options > General > View.
Next to the "Size format" drop-down field, add "Decimals" drop-down with the options of 0, 1, 2.
Personally, I like to display in Size format "KB", and displaying sizes with 2 decimals would make Everything so much better.
Example screenshot:

Re: Displaying the size of two decimal places
Quick Tip:
You can change the size format in the statusbar and InfoTip independent of the format in the result list.
Like this:
That can be done by entering /statusbar_size_format=1 in the search bar (and press ENTER)
Other possible values:
0 Best format depending on the size.
1 Always show sizes in bytes.
2 Always show sizes in KB.
3 Always show sizes in MB.
4 Always show sizes in GB. (undocumented)
Also: resolution in bytes instead of KB + 2 digits takes up less screen estate.

Personally, I think it looks ugly that way.

NotNull,
1. Why did you remove my screenshot? It was the perfect way to explain my suggestion. Never mind, I added it again.
2. Thanks for the tip regarding changing the size format in the statusbar, but that's not what I wanted.
I hope void will look into my suggestion. Sometimes differences between 2 files cannot be seen in KB (rounded), but with a 1 or 2 decimal accuracy, you'll spot the size difference right away.
Anyway, it's very useful for me, and I hope it will get implemented in a future version.

Re: Displaying the size of two decimal places
Did I? If I did, it was certainly not intentional as this was indeed a good way to clarify what you mean.
(I have seen the screensht)
EDIT:
How do you know it was me who deleted that screenshot?
Definitely wasn't me. I don't even have the rights to edit your post.
You will have to find someone else to blame this on

Re: Displaying the size of two decimal places
I have attached the screenshot instead of linking externally. Should be visible now.
Re: Displaying the size of two decimal places
It seems size with decimal places is now available in v1.5x .
Thanks void!!
