I'm testing DOpus 12 and am very impressed.
Good Job. Thank You.
But one Question about Folder Size Calculation
Right Side
C:\Temp
Now i Duplicate a Folder with Strg+C, Strg+V in C:\Temp but the Folder Size
of the Duplicates are not refreshed automaticly. There is shown no size in the Column Size. By pressing
Strg+L the Size was calculated
Left Side
C:
The Size of the Folder C:\Temp was not calculated automatic after pressing Strg+L
the Size are refreshed. The Date/Time Column was immediately refreshed
How i can acitvated "realy" automatic Calulating Folder Sizes.
Have a look in -> Preferences -> Folders -> Folder Behaviour -> "Calculate folder sizes automatically for [all local and network drives]. That should do the job. If you prefer to set it manually for every folder, you can use -> Tools -> Folder options -> Options [Tab] -> Options, where you can choose from three types of folder size calculation.
But this Option
Have a look in -> Preferences -> Folders -> Folder Behaviour -> "Calculate folder sizes automatically for [all local and network drives]
has already been set
Automatic folder size calculation is triggered by changing or refreshing the current folder. Push F5 and it should calculate the size of the new sub-folder.
You can also trigger folder size calculation via the Edit menu (or Ctrl+L shortcut) without refreshing, if that's more suitable.
So far, we haven't felt that the performance impact of constant monitoring and re-scanning of folder size changes would be worth the benefit of not having to push F5 in situations where the size needs updating. (Consider an example where you are in C:\ and every action that hits the disk, even the temp folder, is causing size re-calculations.) The OS is not really designed for it.
I don't think that is what the AutoHotkey script in that thread does. It isn't triggered by filesystem events; it runs a command each time a lister is activated (e.g. when you click on it).
It could be done using OnActivateLister these days, without needing AutoHotkey.
That said, if you want to change the command it runs, just change the command it runs; it's there in the script. Or is there a further problem when doing so?

No the Script must be more to do than allwas waiting a lister is activated.
You can test the Script.
Part 1)
Run the Script
Left
C:\Temp\a
Right
C:\Temp
Now please copy (Strg+1) from C:\Temp (Right) any files to C:\Temp\a (Left) the folder Size of C:\Temp\a on the Right will be updated. Also you delete a file in the Folder C:\Temp\a the folder size will be updated. Only Strg+C, Strg+V doesent work for me.
Part 2)
Stop the Script not only be paused please
Please repeat Part 1
The folder size will not be updated
Is it possible to expand GetSizes with the Parameters.
Left, Right, Dest, Source, .. analogous the Go Refresh Command.
Sorry for my bad englisch i hope you will understand me.

Not exactly the same topic, but technically very close, so I'll add this here. I also read similar wishes from other users, so I'm not the only one interested in that:
I'm using custom formatting for files that are changed recently and this helps enourmously in finding recent files. For example, files that are changed within the last 15 minutes are marked with an icon and with a bold filename. However, if the lister stays open for some time, they are still marked, although they are no longer changed within the last 15 minutes. After pressing F5 everything is updated properly. I saw related questions several times in the forum, so I thought it might be worth to mention here, in case you think about an improved mechanism of "auto update". (And maybe the request from Lezgus could be realized with the same mechanism)
