Wish: Calc Folder Sizes should preserve selection

Help & Support
1

I use the function to Calculate Folder Sizes rather often. After the calculation of selected folders is complete, the folders are deselected. It would be more convenient if the selection state of the folders would be preserved.

Thanks,

Allen

Edit the Edt -> Calculate Folder Sizes menu item and add a line with @nodeselect to the command. For example:

GetSizes @nodeselect

You can do this with most other commands, too.

Yikes! I shoulda known . . .

Thanks, Mr Leo.

This modifier seems to have stopped working. GetSizes works, but the initially selected folder remains selected. Script is exactly as shown above (Wed Oct 30, 2013), and has been working until ... Win10 Threshold2.

That's what the modifier is supposed to do. It stops things being deselected.

My bad. I was getting script errors with SmartGetSizes, and in my haste I was thinking this was what I previously used to make the GetSizes button get the hilited folder size on the first click, and then get all folder sizes on the second click. But that is what it normally does...

That's the trouble with customizing only a few times a year. I'll have to take another look at SmartGetSizes, which was balking at an @ sign somewhere.
