NANY 2012 Release: Got Space?
Stoic Joker:
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

Hide empty drives is an interesting idea, I may look into that when I unbreak my compiler (time permitting). The drive labels I thought about a great deal but given the auto refresh option I didn't want to take a chance on it lagging/crashing GS of the machine was (iffy or) under load. That's why I put them in the Extended Info dialog ... It was the best compromise I could come up with.
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-Ath (January 04, 2012, 02:01 AM)

The default for save is in memory for the current session only (for testing purposes). So everything defaults when the GS is restarted. If either .ini or reg is selected (reg setting override ini settings), then GS should store and reuse the given configuration. Last Position was tested to be multi-monitor friendly.

What a great app!

But I've set it (before, and still selected) to store settings in GotSpace.ini... :huh:
It does get saved if I first move the window to the desired position, open options, and press OK to save. That's not as *I* expected :)

Ah! So you were looking for the typical application behavior of auto-saving the window location on exit. Given the dual save configuration option I couldn't do that without defaulting to one or the other and pissing off one camp or the other. That and I hate when programs auto-create files I don't need/want. I also didn't want to take a chance (given the portability factor) of having it auto save a setting that would push it off the visible area of the screen. Which is part of why the settings save functionality is segmented so the user doesn't have to commit to a complete save of everything.
Once the .ini is created it is loaded/used/defaulted to (same as reg settings). But the decision of when/where/if to save it is left to the user.
Stunt:
You could exclude the specific driveletters by setting these in the Options panel (F8).

True - just thought it would be more useful to hide those with 0 capacity - which would then permit them to show after an auto-refresh when you pop in an SD card - empty or otherwise.
Capacity rather than space used seems the reliable trigger for this.
