Folder Size Help - Same Info for Different Folders

[samstar]

- Each of the folders is its own separate config.

- When I refresh the folders will temporarily show the correct size but within a few seconds they update and all show the same size.

- I need help on how I could make it so it shows the correct folder size.

Code for the 'Documents' File

Code: Select all

Someone told me to change 'Place1' to 'Place2,3,4' etc for the different files. I've tried this and it didn't do anything.

Anyone able to help?

In the variables section where you define
Place1Path=C/users/etc
Place1Icon...=Documents.png

You also need to add a new path= for EACH directory and image

Place1Path=someplace
Place1Icon=someimage
place2Path=anotherplace
Place2Icon=anotherimage

and so on and so forth for each directory you want to show

Then in the path measures, I believe you will need a new measure for each path

Code: Select all

[Path1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=#Path#
Field=FolderPath
FolderIndex=0
Path=#Place1Path#
Recursive=1

For the next directory you would need to basically cpy the first but change the path to match...

Code: Select all

[Path1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=#Path#
Field=FolderPath
FolderIndex=0
Path=#Place2Path#
Recursive=1

For each directory you want to show, you will need a matching measure and meter for as many directories as you want listed.

The way it is now the directories listed are all referring to the same folder.
I hope this makes sense, I am fairly new as well but I am pretty sure this is how I did it. on my way out so I cant really get into my ini's ATM.

Good luck

Thanks so much for your well thought out reply/help.

I tried to do what you said but I believe ive done it wrong as now instead of showing the folder sizes it shows 0b.

I'll keep trying.

EDIT: Put all of them into one .ini file and did what you said.

Working great THANKS

[Waldensamkeit]

GREAT! I'm glad you worked it out. It takes a little bit to get used to but once things start to click, its really not that hard at all to get what you want
