Option to index folder size in File List also

[pk1991]

Hi Boss,
Your app is amazing, useful and so fast. I have one suggestion -

Include an option to index folder size when creating File List from added folders.
Just like the option 'Index Folder Size' in Indexes section.

I am not "Boss" , but I think I can answer your question.

Everything already does that. This is an example of am EFU file (X:\Program Files does not exist, so Everything has no possibility to read the information from disk):

Are you using an old version of Everything?

Yes it does include folder size.
Actually I opened the efu file in notepad and it showing 0 there for folder size.
Maybe it calculates folder size by adding sizes of children files during render.

Thanks for pointing it out.
My problem solved

Not sure offhand, but maybe it needs; Options | Indexes -> Index folder size, to be set?
(If it is, it should be showing the size in the .efu [likewise, in notepad].)

EFU's don't store foldersizes; those are calculated, as @pk1991 already found out.

Makes sense too: if you have a folder (size 200 MB) with 100MB *.txt files and 100 MB *.pdf files and you export folder\*.txt to an EFU file, the foldersize (as stored in the Everything database) would be wong for this EFU.

Exactly..!
