~~Title: Status Bar~~
== Directory Opus 13 - Detailed release notes ==
<pageheader/>


  * General: 		
    * If upgrading, you may need to reset Preferences / File Displays / Status Bar to get all new functionality.
  * File type summary: 		
    * Default configuration now includes a compact summary of selected file extensions (or file type groups) with a total count or size for each one.
    * This is handy when using select-all in a large folder, in case any unexpected types are included.
    * Hovering over the summary displays the same information as a pie chart.
    * Clicking the summary displays the pie chart in a dialog, with controls to change what's displayed.
    * See //New status bar codes//, below for more detail.
  * Media duration: 		
    * Default configuration now includes selected and total audio/video duration.
    * Status Bar no longer triggers audio/video duration calculation by default, and instead only displays that information if a column in the file display has already triggered it.
    * You can change this via Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced: [Behavior] status_metadata_trigger.
  * Format lock: 		
    * By default, the Status Bar's old format lock (padlock icon) is now a more passive "info" icon.
    * Hovering shows information about the current Folder Format, as before, but left-clicking doesn't do anything.
    * Right-clicking opens a menu of options related to folder formats, with the format lock at the top. It can also be accessed via the default toolbars, in the Folder menu.
    * Preferences has an option to make it look and act as it did in previous versions.
  * New status bar codes: 		
    * Evaluator code (discussed in its own section) can be used in the Status Bar between `{=...=}` tags. 				
      * This allows for more advanced logic and text formatting.
      * The standard status bar codes are available as Evaluator variables (e.g. "tf" for total files), and a "path" variable gives you the current path.
    * `{var:sys:CopySpeed}` displays the total current copy speed.
    * `{sel:namelen}` and `{sel:pathlen}` display the length of the selected file name and full path, respectively.
    * `{ft}` shows the summary of file extensions or types discussed above: 				
      * Shows counts by default. `{ft:size}` shows size instead of count. {ft:size,count} shows both.
      * Shows all files by default. `{ft:sel}` shows the selected files instead of all files.
      * Buckets by extension by default. `{ft:group}` buckets by file type group instead. For example, .jpg and .psd files would both be in the Images file type group.
      * When bucketing by extension, a few common types are handled specially. For example, .jpg and .jpeg are treated as the same extension.
      * Shows the largest (count or size) items first by default. `{ft:asc}` shows the smallest items first instead.
      * When many types are selected, aggregates the smaller ones into a single item like "3 more". `{ft:only}` hides the aggregate item.
      * Shows up to three items (plus the aggregate) by default. `{ft:5}` increases it to five. `{ft:-1}` shows all items, no matter how many.
      * `{ft:0}` shows a single item with a count of distinct extensions.
      * `{ft:frame}` draws a frame around each item, instead of drawing them as normal status bar text.
