Number of files in selected zip or archive files

[ddjksa]

Hi

I can display the number of files in each individual zip file in a lister window but is there an easy way to display the total number of files within 2 or more selected zip files perhaps on the status bar? I'm using V13.10 x64 Build 9004

TIA for any help.

@ddjksa

is there an easy way

Not super easy, but doable. A script can sum up the values, store the result in a variable, and display it in a button or the status bar.

Here's a script and a button. The column needs to be visible for the script to work.

function OnInit(initData) {
    initData.name = 'SumFileCountTotal';
    initData.version = '2025-10-08';
    initData.url = 'https://resource.dopus.com/t/number-of-files-in-selected-zip-or-archive-files/57418/2';
    initData.desc = 'SumFileCountTotal';
    initData.default_enable = true;
    initData.min_version = '13.0';
}

function OnAddCommands(addCmdData) {
    var cmd = addCmdData.AddCommand();
    cmd.name = 'SumFileCountTotal';
    cmd.method = 'OnSumFileCountTotal';
    cmd.desc = 'SumFileCountTotal';
    cmd.label = 'SumFileCountTotal';
    cmd.hide = false;
    cmd.icon = 'script';
}

function OnSumFileCountTotal(scriptCmdData) {
    var cmd = scriptCmdData.func.command;
    var tab = scriptCmdData.func.sourcetab;

    if (!tab) return;

    var sumFileCountTotal;

    if (tab.selected_files.count > 0) {
        sumFileCountTotal = 0;
        for (var e = new Enumerator(tab.selected_files); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
            var item = e.item();
            if (!item.InGroup('Archives')) continue;
            var fct = item.metadata.other.filecounttotal;
            if (typeof fct != 'number') continue;
            if (isNaN(fct)) continue;
            sumFileCountTotal += fct;
        }
    } else {
        sumFileCountTotal = '---';
    }

    tab.Vars.Set('SumFileCountTotal', sumFileCountTotal);
    // DOpus.Output('SumFileCountTotal: ' + sumFileCountTotal);

    cmd.UpdateToggle();
}

How to use buttons and scripts from this forum

I'm using V13.10 x64 Build 9004

This version is over a year old. Treat yourself to something fresh

Thanks very much @lxp for the detail and effort. Apologies for the delay but off-web for the last few days! It does seem very involved - surprised that it's not a feature that Opus has already included.

You might be the first one asking for it

[jinsight]

The script also counts the number of files and folders within folders.

[lxp]

It shouldn't

Did you add folders to the FileType group Archives?

var fsu = DOpus.FSUtil();
DOpus.Output(fsu.GetItem('/dopusdata').InGroup('Archives'));
DOpus.Output(fsu.GetItem('D:\\test\\zip\\03.zip').InGroup('Archives'));

[jinsight]

Open a File Display with folders and files in it with nothing selected.

Run the button for the script.

Folders will have numbers in the Files (total) column for the total of all folders and files within the folder.

Oh, Flash File System, you don't say...

@lxp

The column needs to be visible for the script to work.
