NANY 2012 Release: Got Space?

<< < (22/25) > >>

tranglos:
Great utility, SJ, thanks! And I think I have a new puzzle for you:



Drives A and B are listed as floppies, but they're not. They're weird :)

B is a subst drive, my mnemonic for Backup. It's a subst'ed folder on an external G drive. (And G is listed as local probably because it's plugged in via Firewire, which I don't think is distinguishable from true local drives. Windows itself and ShadowProtect can't tell the difference either.)

Now, A is a partition of my first fixed HDD. I use it as scratch area (temp folders, browser caches, Archivarius indexes, all that). So it's actually a sibling partition of C. Windows knows that, but Total Commander doesn't (it does not display exe icons, as it thinks it's a removable drive). So, not floppies :)

Here's what the Extended Info command says about them:

A:


B:


(Btw, you may not need the period after "Extended Info" command in the context menu.)




I know, poor choice of drive letters! I just got tired of figuring out whether 'p' or 'q' is better for a particular use, and realized I had two perfectly good letters sitting around unused at the start of the alphabet.

Stoic Joker:
@ tranglos - I swear I typed a response earlier this week, but it's just... gone... I don't know were it went.

Early in the project I ran into issues with the Floppy drives lagging the refresh and throwing errors if they were empty. Given that the BIOS forcibly assigns letters A & B to floppy drives, the handling of those two letters is a bit different to make them easier to skip early in the refresh process.

The Extended Info. dialog collects its information independent of the main interface. So the MS-DOS device name will correctly show the actual target path of the drive letter. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it is handy (at least for me) for finding out where a mapped/SUBST'ed/DFS drive letter actually points.

Stunt:
Great little app!   8)

Given the nicest thing about this is it does near enough exactly what I want without a ton of extra junk like graphical displays of free space, scans etc I'm wary of mentioning these, but two features I'd like to see:

1.  Option to not display removable drives with 0 used - I've 4 card reader slots, which always show as removable, always 0 used apart from the 20 seconds a week when I'm transferring pics.  If I disable removable in the app I lose these, but I don't get to see my external HDD or USB sticks.

2.  Option to show drive labels

You could exclude the specific driveletters by setting these in the Options panel (F8).

And an issue report:

* 'Save position' doesn't seem to save the last position used when GotSpace is closed, but only when configuration is saved
