Customize Path Bar and Status Bar?

I've been searching the FAQ and forum, and can't seem to find the answer.

First of all, I like to change the default Path Bar content display. This is the default:

What I would like displayed, is the path to the selected / current folder, like this:

I know it is possible by clicking in the Pathbar itself, but I would rather have it displayed when selecting a folder itself (using Dual Pane mode).

As far as the Status Bar is concerned, is it possible to display the folder size of the selected / current folder, a.k.a. Windows Explorer mode?

It is great showing how many files there are, but it doesn't tell me what the combined size is, only the amount of free space.

Thanks in advance.

for the path bar: click Settings>Customize. the path bar turns into a box with the word Location in it. right-click, choose Field Type, select Path(Basic). click OK on the Customize window to finish.

for the status bar: right-click on the status bar, select Edit Status Bar. top-right, click the Samples button, choose Explorer (Windows 2000). set the same thing under Status Bar (Dual) in the same window. click OK to finish.

Doctor,

I have some good news :slight_smile: Both are very easy to accomplish, just look at the attached screenshots.

To edit the Location field (path bar), go into Customize mode (right-click on any empty toolbar area and select Customize), then right-click on the Location field to see the context menu. You need the "Path (Basic)" option from here.

The status bars are extremely customizable, and most luckily there is a Windows Explorer-lookalike preset is also available.

Much obliged :smiley: It works like a charm!

Perhaps either of you know how to turn the tabs at the bottom off?

If you open Preferences and type Folder Tabs into the filter at the bottom you'll find the relevant options.

That is very clever! Thank you.
