Append folder size to folder name

Postby RenameHer » Mon Dec 13, 2021 8:39 pm

I can use the "Add" feature with " (%z)" to add files size to files, but how can I append the folder size to a folder?

Before:
Folder 1
Folder 2
Folder 3
Folder 4

After:
Folder 1 (1.5 Gig)
Folder 2 (400 MB)
Folder 3 (953 MB)
Folder 4 (900 KB)

If the only way is with Javascript, does anyone have the code snippet to do this?

I am also wondering how to do this. I found this searching for the answer but no one responded.

(With a quick look, in Win7) I don't see a (Windows) Property for "parent folder size".

If it exits ? in other OS, you might be able to use that?


Otherwise, suppose you could "gather" the directory sizes, by other means, & wrangle something together, & use the (BRU) Rename Pairs feature.

Hi, I do not think it can be done with BRU unless it is a property of the folder...
Theoretically you could use PowerShell to create a CSV with all folder sizes then import the CSV into BRU and rename the folders:

PowerShell


In that respect, Everything.

Everything can show your directory sizes, instantly.
And you can filter your results in any manner you wish.
And you can export to .csv.
Exported results can be all that are shown, or only those that are actually selected.

(I use the 1.5 Alpha which has all the features mention. Not sure offhand if the 1.4 release version can export only selected items?)
