Directory Opus Status Graphs

In Directory Opus 8.1 a new feature was introduced that added graphs to the status bar. Last weekend I sat down and customised my status bar to take advantage of the graph feature and this is what I produced.

Graph of file selection

The top of the first two graphs shows the percentage of files selected in the current folder, whilst the second shows the percentage of filesize selected against the total size of all files combined. The second set of graphs shows how much space the selected files will consume on a CD or a DVD. The last graph show how much space is used on the entire drive.

There is one more graph that applies to music.

Graph of music selection

The music graph shows how much space selected MP3's will consume on an Audio CD based on the length of the tracks. Very handy for creating compilation CD's.

Here's the status bar code if you want to use it:

{sd}/{td} folders, {sf}/{tf} files, {sba} selected {bg+v={sf}/{tf},f=2,t=no,c1=#b6d1ff,c2=#3a4251,c3=#ff000,g=2,L=0}{bg+v={sb}/{tb},f=2,t=no,c1=#b6d1ff,c2=#3a4251,c3=#ff000,g=2,L=1} {h!} ({hi} hidden items){h!}{rpad}
CD/DVD {bg+v=sb/690m,f=2,t=no,c1=#b6d1ff,c2=#3a4251,c3=#ff000,g=2,L=0}{bg+v=sb/4.7g,f=2,t=no,c1=#b6d1ff,c2=#3a4251,c3=#ff000,g=2,L=1}
{bg+v=smp3/1:00:00,w-1,f=3,t=no,c1=#b6d1ff,c2=#3a4251,c3=#ff000,g=2} Music {smp3}/{tmp3}
{bg+w=-1,f=3,t=#000000,t=no,c1=#b6d1ff,c2=#3a4251,c3=#ff000,g=2}{pu}% full, {df} free 
{fl}
{ls}

Rules: Paragraphs and linebreaks are automatically created (two or more linebreaks create a paragraph). Linebreaks between code tags remain linebreaks. Block tags cannot be enclosed by inline tags. Red attributes are required and green is optional.

Use "&lt;" and "&gt;" for "<" and ">". Enclosing PHP code in <code> tags will highlight the code (i.e. <code>&lt;?php echo 'hello world'; ?&gt;</code>).
