Hi,

is it possible to customize the status bar not to show the total free size, but the available size taking account of quotas?

I have a NAS providing several network shares with tree / directory quotas applied. If I use the UNC name to connect to the
share, the total size of the underlying file system is shown.

After looking to the source code (3.6.8), it seems the second argument of GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() could give the desired information.


Thanks

It's doable and has been done already in Total Commander. The attached image shows the
infos about a DFS-Link to a Share.

Despite not being a Windows Developer, I think GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() can be used:

I'm also willing to do some tests.

I did some tests with a powershell script [1] which uses getFreeDiskSpaceEx(). It works as expected:



### share with directory quotas ###

I hope this helps.
