Info areas

In the bottom of the window there is in both sides a small area where you can find some informational messages and minor warnings. The default in normal filesystem mode is the type of the device and the free space it has in kilobytes. In virtual mode it shows the text:
"In file: <packagename>".

The most important usage of this area is when you select files or directories, it shows the amount of items selected and the total size of the selection. This works in all modes. Note that if you have not calculated the size of a directory with the internal procedure [DirSize] before selecting it, the size of the directory will be marked as one kilobyte. If you have calculated the size before selection, it will be added to the total sum.

New in version 1.30 are the messagelog-windows, which can be activated from this area. Each side has its own log-window, and the messages are put to the side affected. Some messages do not have a defined side and they will be appended to both logs. You can toggle the visibility of the log-window(s) by clicking the button(s).

Here is a listing of different messages in different modes:

Default:
Normal FS: ext2 320 557 Kbytes free
Virtual FS: In file: X-Files.zip
Selection: Selected 7 objects: 2 246 Kb
