IDEA:Something that will tell you wether a folder is empty or not.

<< < (2/3) > >>

mouser:
well there are a bunch of apps to monitor specific directories and do stuff when a file appears in them, either alert you or process name in some way.

but i read the question as being that fantum was browsing directories in explorer and wanted to know if folders were empty without navigating into them.

directory opus is nice about that.

tenseiken says xplorer^2 does it better than dir opus.. i didnt know that.  tenseiken how is it better?

tenseiken:
I assumed the same thing as you did, mouser.  Anyway, I think it's better because in Directory Opus, you have the option of having it scan the size of each folder all the time, or by hovering your mouse over a folder for a moment.  In Xplorer2, you just hit a hotkey and it does it for you.  I like that more because this isn't a feature I tend to use very often, but when I do, I usually want to see the size of all the subfolders, and I don't want to hover my mouse over each item until it shows up, nor do I want to hunt through the huge options panel for it.

mouser:
well it sounds like xplorer does precisely what fantum wanted.

Change the countfolders= to 0 to ignore folders in the check.
