Show size on disk the same way as size

Post by vsub »

Any way to do that
instead of showing 20 billion bytes,show it as 20.1gb

To format the Size on disk sizes the same as the regular size:

Code: Select all

add-column:A  A:=$size-on-disk:  A-format:size  A-label:="Size on Doisk"
Alternative formattings:

Code: Select all

size:auto
size:bytes
size:kb
size:mb
size:gb

I'll look into adding formatting options for the size on disk property..

Typically, the byte detailed information is useful (but not in this case)

Suggestion: A general formatting feature by right-clicking the column header => Format Column => .....
The type of each property is known (number, text,time, ..) so "only" the relevant formatting options need to be shown.
Maybe includw left-/right aligned to the formatting options.

In my opinion the chosen format is very volatile and does not need to be saved somewhere (possible exception: when tabs are duplicated)


Sounds to me like a lot of work though ... Maybe something to keep in mind for Everything 3.8 :D

I will consider right click column header -> Organize columns -> select column -> set formatting,alignment,width etc..
I would like to keep the right click column header menu minimal, but will consider shift right click for a formatting option.
Thank you for the suggestions.

The next update will have a size_precise_format advanced setting.
So there will now be three size categories:
size_format (default: KB)
size_precise_format (default: bytes)
size_volume_format (default: auto)

All size properties will fall into one of these categories.
