Show size on disk the same way as size

[vsub]

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

(What do you have, sparse or [Windows] compressed file there?)

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)

That was just an example

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

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

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.

Everything 1.5.0.1423b adds a size_precise_format advanced setting.

This setting controls how to format precise sizes.

A precise size is:

• Size On Disk:
• Compressed Size:
• End Of File:
• Allocation Size:
• Total Size On Disk:
• Total Alternate Data Stream Size On Disk:

To set the precise format:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  size format
• Select: size_precise_format
• Set the desired format.
• Click OK.
