Request: Monitor database size

[PeterPanino]

Since content indexing can quickly cause the Everything database to grow very large, the database size should be displayed somewhere clearly visible.

Is the size of the database limited? I plan to index the contents of the Delphi files on my entire C partition to ensure efficient Delphi code searches.

Tools -> Debug -> Statistics

It could be nice to have a second status bar, very customizable and related to the sort of data you'd otherwise have to open the stats page for and maybe other pages.
Like how many index journal entries are there? How often do you want the status bar to update how many entries there are?

But maybe this would require it to keep almost all of the RAM usage active at all times. For example my Monolith instance went from 2.3GB working set to 20.6GB of 27.9GB private bytes. So most of it needed to load in to open it.
Maybe there could be a way to code it so it doesn't have to work like this, but that might be a major version-type of coding endeavour.

Unlikely to ever happen, but it could mean you have a more often view of where the index is at. Say every 10 minutes it loads how many journal entries there are or how big the journal is at the moment. Or every hour. Every day would be more often than how often I check the stats page.
For me right now I typically look at the stats page whenever an instance is larger than 3GB and it's been a while due to the journal size being 3.8GB. So if they take at least 3GB they might be near the limit if they otherwise take less than 100MB.

Not sure if these statistics would fit in a "second statusbar".
Maybe an extra sidebar, like bookmarks, filters, preview?

(not that I would have any use for it ..)

I will consider an option to show the total index size or the current memory usage in the status bar.
Possibly as a separate option or as a custom formatting variable.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Yeah I just meant if you have very little. For example I fit what I want currently in the primary status bar.
If there was a secondary one, it'd be maybe current journal size and nothing more.
But if that never happens I'll just continue using the private bytes above 3GB as an indication.

A sidebar takes a lot of space, but maybe someone else would have use of it.
