status bar - size

[Stamimail]

I don't know why the size indicator is located in the right side of the status bar.
You can easily move it to the left side, in the same place that "Size:" is located when there is one item selected. No need for duplicates.

I have to say that I like the size indicator at the right: the most important file information is always in the same spot. No need to find it among lots of file details.
(just like the number of files is always on the left side of the statusbar)

BTW: do the statusbar entries "flip" when using a LTR language like yours? Just curious.

EDIT: Just tested: they do!

I also support that the location of "size" be at the same spot. Only I think that everything you want can be achieved even when the location is on the left side. You just need to think a little more about the design of the status bar.

If you leave it on the right side, I think it's a disadvantage:
1. On a large screen, you have to roll your eyes to 2 spots to get all the information.
2. The size information is duplicated.


BTW: *RTL language

I did trial showing the size on the left in the status bar.
It was reverted back to the right as it was too busy.

Everything is designed to be displayed in a window. (not fullscreen)
The total size in the status bar lines up quite nicely under the size column.



To show the size on the left:

• 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:
  status format
• Select: statusbar_selection_format
• Set the value to: $o items | $x items selected | Size: $z
• Select: statusbar_format
• Set the value to: $o items | Size: $y
• Click OK.

You may have set a custom status bar format already?
By default, the size should only be shown on the right and not duplicated on the left and right.

To hide the size on the right:

• 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:
  status size
• Select: statusbar_total_size2
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

I'll consider a simple switch to toggle the size side.

There is a difference between the format of selecting one item and the format of selecting multiple items.
Did you try to make them similar?

100,000 items | Size: 10.0 MB | Path: C:\test

100,000 items | Size: 50.0 MB | 5 items selected

Yes.

To show the size on the left in the middle:

• 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:
  status format
• Select: statusbar_selection_format
• Set the value to: $o items | Size: $z | $x items selected
• Click OK.
