----------------------------------------------------------------------- FileSize - A tyne file size totalization utility Written by Newton C. Sanches e-mail ncs@cetuc.puc-rio.br ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This program is FREEWARE. So you may use it and distribute it freely. Description: This program let's you measure the size of a single file or of a whole directory structure just by dragging a file (or directory) icon and dropping into it. Features: - MultiThreaded operation: Big directory structures can take long to be measured. So, to preserve system's responsiveness, a new tread is started when you drag files to FileSize. A beep will be heard when FileSize finishes calcu- lating. - Position Memory: FileSize will remember the place where you left it, and open in this position when runned. Known Problems: You can't drag a disk object to FileSize. This occurs because FileSize only allows file system objects to dragged into it. Although a disk object is very much like an folder object, it isn't a file system object. This will be fixed in latter versions. Sometimes FileSize won't respond to a drag operation. In this case you probably dropped the file over a text field or over a button. This occurs because I couldn't manage to make static text fields and buttons generate drag'n'drop events. I'm thinking of a whole new design witch will, hopefully, avoid this problem. Installation: You'll probably a .ZIP file containig filesize.exe - the PM executable filesize.hlp - filesize help called from the executable filesize.inf - the same contents from filesize.hlp (in .inf format) filesize.txt - this file filesize.ini - INI file used to save windows position You have only to unzip this files to some directory, and if you want create a Program Object to FileSize. Remember always to keep filesize.exe and filesize.hlp in the same directory. If you don't do that help will be unavailable.
