DO12 - Create Folder Dialog

[nate_dawg]

In the lower left hand corner of the Create Folder dialog is has a numeric counter such as "5 (48)" if I type in a folder name with 5 characters. What's the number in the parenthesis for?

I remember there was a forum thread about this but I can't find it, however I've found there is explanation in the docs:

The two numbers displayed in the bottom-left corner of the dialog (as shown above) indicate the length of the name you have entered and the total length of the path once the folder is created. This can be useful to ensure that your path length doesn't grow beyond the normal maximum of 259 characters - although Opus has no problems dealing with longer paths than that, many other programs (including Explorer) will fail.

So the number in parenthesis indicates number of characters of current path + your new folder name that you're typing. For example try to go to C:\ and clear the name field so that it's blank, and it would say 0 (3) because the "C:" part of the path (current location) has the length of three characters.

There's also a tooltip if you hover over the numbers:
