CalculateSizeCM 1.3 Copyright © 2003-2005 Hide Itoh <hide@pixture.com> All rights reserved. PIXTURE STUDIO <http://www.pixture.com> What is CalculateSizeCM ? CalculateSizeCM is a contextual menu plugin for Mac OS X. It let you calculate the total size of selected files/ folders at the Finder. It's specially usuful if you want to know the total size of mutilple files and folders (for example, to see if they fit in a CD-R media or not). This is the OS X port of my Calculate Size CMM plugin. Features • It can calculate the total size of selected folders and files easily. • It displays the progress information while calculating and let you cancel the operation anytime. • It displays more detail information like number of files, invisible files, folders, fork sizes... • If a single or a single volume is selected at the Finder, it shows the file/volume size information directly to the context menu. So it's much easier and quicker than Finder's Get Info dialog. Difference from the Finder's Get Info dialog As you know, Mac OS X Finder's Get Info can calculate the total size of multiple items, but it does not show detail information. For example, if you select two folders and do the Get Info, you will know the total size but not number of files and folders inside of those two folders. Finder's get info just shows number of directly selected items and total size, no other information like fork sizes, number of files/folders invisible items inside. Also, when you select a folder with tons of files and sub folders in it, Finder's Get Info just shows 'Calculating Size' until it finish calculation, while CalculateSizeCM shows progressive display so you can see the size so far even if you cancel the operation in the middle. This may be helpfiul when you want to see if a folder is smaller than 700MB before writing to CD-R because once you see it goes over 700MB, you can cancel the operation easily and do not have to wait for the end of calculation, which you can not do with Finder's Get Info dialog. Installation For your convenicence, simple AppleScript to install the CalculateSizeCM is enclosed. Just run the 'InstallCalculateSizeCM' script to install and follow the direction on the screen. You can manually install the CalculateSizeCM by copying 'CalculateSizeCM.plugin' package to either '/Library/ Contextual Menu Items' folder or '~/Library/Contextual Menu Items' folder. If you don't have '~/Library/ Contextual Menu Items' folder, simply create a new folder and copy it there. In this case, you need to either restart computer, or logout and login again, or restart the Finder to use the CalculateSizeCM. How to use ?…
