Free space on Build Tab

[MarkC]

Hi LUK,

 

Since 2.2 isn't far away, I just thought I'd ask...

 

Is there any chance you could add a free disk space display to the Build Tab? I've been doing some backups and this would be very helpful when picking things to add to a disk. DVD-R 92% full, that means... pull out calculator.. about 360M free, ok pick that file...

 

I realise that IB tells you when you go over a full DVD and need a DL, but it would be helpful to not have to play 'add, too big, remove and try something smaller" and I (personally, IMO) don't find the % filled bar particularly helpful, given the % is displayed next to it, ' and "Min Req. Media: DVD+-RW, 92% full, 360M free" would communicate more info.

 

(BTW, going to extreme pedant mode: why 'Min Req. Media:' and not 'Min. Req. Media:', Min is a contraction as well. :-)

 

Thanks for all you work with IB.

It's not 100% accurate (i.e you can't add a file of exactly that 'free space' size due to filesystem overhead etc) but how's this?

Point well taken, done.

 

I just wish I could afford to give more.

 

And as a bonus, I learned LUK's real name.

 

At least I think I did.
