702: Status Bar Size, respect Size Format setting

Post by therube »

702:

Should Status Bar Size, respect the Size Format setting?

As it is now, say Size is bytes, Status Bar still shows KB.

The status bar size uses a different setting.

This setting can be changed in the Everything.ini:

statusbar_size_format=x

Where x can be one of the following:
0 = auto (default setting)
1 = always in bytes
2 = always in KB
3 = always in MB

I'll consider adding a UI option to change this within Everything.
The default behavior in Windows Explorer is to show the statusbar size as auto, and the display size as always in KB. Everything does the same by default.

I like the former behaviour as the default:
show_selected_item_in_statusbar=0
Especially now that I can get this info (in better view) by the ToolTip while mouseover, it seems it's not necessary for anyone anymore.

Do you have some (other) program that gives you that information?
Or where do I find that setting in Everything?

Of course the image is not original. It shows only the way you supposed to see in Everthing.
I just used Everything-1.4.0.705b.x64

Edit:
I think I found the problem. Please change the view other than Details. :D

So it's this, which I have never had enabled, so I've never seen it before:

See Edit above.

713 - "improved tooltips"
What I reported above still not solved.
I couldn't get the previous behaviour (show_selected_item_in_statusbar=0) from Options. Only by editing INI.
There is no toolip when in Details view.
