Show folder size

[hiphusk]

Right now I estimate the folder size based on sorting by path, but It would be great if there is an option to view folder size

[void]

To enable folder sizes:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Check Index folder size.
• Click OK.

Note: Enabling folder size requires an additional 8 bytes of memory for each folder.
Note: Enabling folder size indexing can slightly reduce the performance of Everything.

I haven't noticed that, Thank you

Hi..
What about having this feature "by demand" - to enable it only when the user needs it.
Maybe to use the -instance to create Temporary index and/or making the switch between index files more easyily.
I couldn't find in Bookmarks (Ctrl+D) an option to load a preferred index file.

Hi Stamimail,

I have a column "Total size" which will do this for Everything 1.5.
It will gather and calculate the folder size from disk (not from the index, so if you are excluding files this will show the true folder size)
It is a little slow, but useful enough when working with a couple hundred folders, on an SSD it's very fast.

The memory usage requirements for indexing folder sizes is very small, 1 million folders would only be 8MB.
Maintaining folder sizes can be expensive in Everything 1.4, I hope to improve this for Everything 1.5 and consider enabling folder size indexing by default.

I'll consider adding an option to calculate folder sizes when demanded (rather than indexing and maintaining them)

how to show folder sizes in status bar? :/
file sizes do appear, but folder sizes don't (supposed area becomes empty)
it will be helpful when selecting multiple folders to know their collective size

i found a temporary solution by enabling the: show selected item in status bar

Thanks again for this great software

[Stamimail]

Options > View > Show size in status bar
should solve this

Options > View > Show size in status bar
should solve this

tried it and it didn't work for me :/
supposed area in status bar turns empty

Everything does not include folder sizes in the status bar, only the total file size is shown.

Showing folder sizes would result in duplicated files being counted. Removing duplicated files would be too expensive.
I'll consider an option to show folder sizes when it's obvious folder sizes will not overlap, or when there are only a few results it might be feasible to calculate the correct total folder size.

[Stamimail]

Maybe properties (Alt+Enter) can help here.
Only that I'm not sure it works well in Everything like in Explorer.

Amazing void. I didn't know that was possible. Using Dopus all the time, this folder size missing was really inconvenient. So glad to see it actually exist already

Please add an optional total selected item size summa showing, regardless if it has duplicates. It can be also disabled by default, and properly described in settings UI. It will be very, VERY useful if selections have not cross-duplicates and not too dangerous if they have.

I've added an ini option include_selected_folder_size_in_statusbar for the next major version of Everything.
It's disabled by default for now. I can see it being useful, so I may enable it by default before release..
When enabled, the total selected size will include selected folder sizes.
The total size shown will not include folder sizes (when there is no selection)

Thanks for the suggestion.
