Everything support - wrong folder size
« on: February 10, 2025, 11:45:57 »
Hi,

I've just downloaded MC 15.0 and installed Everything to check the new feature (folder sizes). Well it turns out that all folders have the same size and it is huge. Check the screenshot.
Also noticed that when Everything has crashed (during search) MC hangs (not responsive)

BR,

I can't reproduce that..
What version of "Everything" are you running. ?

That value look like a 64bit max value.. I guess Everything might have returned an error code that is not handled.

Everything can cause slowness specially in the root of C: MC will get the folder size from everything in the background , so it should not lock up everything. but everything can cause slowness.

Do you see folder size in "Everything"? . Might be that it must be turned on in settings in Everything.. not sure if that is on by default.

Everything version is 1.4.1.1026. It get's 'out of memory' exception. Don't know whether MC is causing it or Everything it self has problem.
I can't see folder size in Everything. When I checked: Index folder size, the size is shown in both: Everything and MC. It seems not to be default option though.

Moreover, when MC shows "Calculating folder size, please wait..." then I cannot close MC (hangs on closing until I kill it).

No MC can't cause Everything to crash like that..  Everything has an API that MC uses and ask. If everything has memory issues it is not becuse of MC.

But to get the correct folder size the option "Index folder size" must be enabled in the settings in Everything .

Ok, I understand.

But still MC hangs when operation is in progress ("Calculating folder size, please wait...") and I want to close MC. Need to kill it. Is it possible to cancel task, when exiting MC?

EDIT:
I tried to upload dump (via https://multicommander.com/support/upload), but there is an error:
Bad Gateway
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The problem is that MC is waiting for the response from Everything. And currently there is no good way to abort that..
It will work better when Everything 1.5 comes. then get folder sizes will be even faster.
