How do I get folder sizes?

How can I get the finder to calculate folder sizes?
I've clicked Calculate all sizes in view options.
Even when I ask for info on a particular folder, I get a blank.
It gives the sizes of files but never for folders: just two little dashes
Is this a bug, or is there some extra button I now have to push?

I believe there's a bug in the Finder that will prevent it from calculating folder sizes. I've only run into it a couple times: for example, Size in the Finder's Inspector window always shows -- (which is normal until the Finder calculates the size). In this case, the Finder doesn't calculate the size, but quitting and relaunching the Finder works to restore proper behavior.

How to get folder size in bytes

Hi all,
Is there a easy way to get folder size in bytes? I don't want to check each file in it and then add them up.
Thanks for any help.

Years ago, I found my home PC was lacking disk space and could not exaplain where all of the space went.
At the same time I was teaching myslef how to use the Picture control and Windows did not allow you to check the size of a folder and it sub-folders. So I used that situation to learn about the picture control and LV at the same time.
It worked and ran but very slowly.
Soon after Greg McKaskle was putting together the first version of "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" and was looking for fodder to beat up. I offered and he accepted. When the time came for the presentation, my code was chosen as "The bad" since I had not learned how to do a cluster sort at that time so I wrote my own version of a bubble sort (the VI presents a Pie Chart of disk usage and clcik on the sectors of the Pie Chart allowed you to drill down so I hd to sort by sizes).
So why am I telling you this long boring story?
That code is attached for you to look at laugh and tell me how dumb I was.
Feel free to beat me up. It can't be any worse than the abuse I got from Greg (I felt like I was being raped).
Have fun!

Code is probably 6 or thereabouts. "Disk_Utility" is top level. Remember this is an example of how NOT to code.

My tiles on Mahjong game have quadrupled in size. How can I get original size back?

My tiles in Mahjong game have quadrupled in size. How can I get original size back. thanking you in advance. Earl66.

Earl, welcome to the forum.
It sounds like the resolution changes when you start the game. You should check the video settings. I checked the Mahjong game (Win 8.1) on my computer and there is no way to set the resolution in the Options.

How can I get the size of a file with apple script

I try to get the size of a file within an apple script. But I did not find information how to do this.

There are two ways. I think Apple is moving toward using System Events, which is listed first.tell application "Finder"
set myFile to selection as alias
--this just gets a file for me to work with
--coercing it into an alias is required for the other functions
end tell
tell application "System Events"
get size of myFile
end tell
set myInfo to (info for myFile)
get size of myInfo

By mistake, I shrink the size of a particular page, which firefox then remembers. How do I get the size back to normal?

When moving around on websites, somehow I manage to shrink the size of what is shown on the screen. I have not figured out how to get the size back to 'normal'. However, Firefox remembers this so when I reenter this particular size, it will still be in the smaller format. Very frustrating and as this has happened for at least two of my most watched sites, I am more and more using competing formats, e.g. Explorer.
I have alsl asked more experienced users of Internet to try to solve this but they are as lost as I am.
Looking forward to getting your advice.
Best regards,

How do I get the size of a file on a server with an Applet

Hei,
I have a problem. I have some files that I need to read in with InputStream to get an Array of bytes. The Applet and the files are on the same server.
My Prob is, that when I use
URL(daFile).getFile().getSize();
it only gives the inaccurate size from the dirlisting (i.e. 48 for 48k)
So I can not build an array with the correct Size.
Does anyone knows how I get the correct size of a file.
Big thx
LoCal

Appler can open connections to server it was downloaded from. You don't need such complicated API as RMI... Just simple java server listening for queries.
Like this:
Applet:
1. take a file path
2. connect to simple server (gives OutputStream and InputStream)
3. create ObjectOutputStream and send fiel to server (File is serializable)
4. Read String with size from input stream
Server
1. Wait for connection
2. When client connected create ObjectInputStream and expect File instance
3. Get file size
4 Replay with String with size
Like this...

How do I get the size of a variable on runtime while...

Hi,
I want to get the size of a variable which is storing an xml input from db.
I want to get the size of this variables on several intervals like displaying a message when the variable holds the data = one megabyte and then so on .
is it even possible to get the size in runtime?
guidance is greatly appreciated.
thanks

So you are looking for the total size of all the objects which go together to make the DOM implementation of your XML. Even if you could find that in any particular case, it would only be a rough guide. I suspect that if you have a few large text nodes in your XML, the DOM will be smaller than if you had many small text nodes, because it would require fewer supporting objects.
If you are interested in a rule of thumb, Michael Kay (who wrote the Saxon XSLT transformer product) suggests that 10 megabytes of XML is about the largest practical file size at the present time. I have however seen claims of people transforming files as large as 30 megabytes.
However, since you are sending the result to a browser, I don't see how you can handle that much data anyway. First of all it is going to take minutes to load into the DOM, while the user waits, and secondly you are going to have to summarize it heavily to be of any use to the user, which suggests that you should store it in some other format that is easier to summarize.

Get folder size error 800A004C

I am trying to make a script Counts the size of a folder.
I am getting a vbs error "Path not found" 800A004C on line 19 (Q = Q + F.size)
dim oFS, oFolder
set oFS = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set oFolder = oFS.GetFolder("E:\NEW-backup\")
set qFS = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set logFolder = qFS.GetFolder("E:\Backup Logs\")
ShowFolderDetails oFolder
sub ShowFolderDetails(oF)
dim F
dim Q
dim antalGB
dim attachment
dim subject
Q=0
for each F in oF.Subfolders
Q = Q + F.Size
Next
antalGB = "Dagens backup fylder: " + FormatNumber(((Q/1024)/1024)/1024, 2) + " GB" + "\n\nMvh\n"
If I run the script on E:\Backup instead of E:\NEW-backup I get no errors.
Please help I am a noob to scripting

If you can try in PowerShell - the below sample code may help you - THis returns folder size in MB
function Get-FolderSize
param ( [String]$Path )
$FileSystemObject = New-Object -com Scripting.FileSystemObject
$folders = (Get-Childitem $path | ? {$_.Attributes -eq "Directory"})
foreach ($folder in $folders)
$folder | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "SizeMB" –Value(($FileSystemObject.GetFolder($folder.FullName).Size) / 1MB)
$folders | sort -Property SizeMB -Descending | select fullname,@{n=’Size MB’;e={"{0:N2}" –f $_.SizeMB}}
Get-FolderSize -Path C:\Temp\
You may get some insight / help for your code as well!

Get folder size

I am trying to get the size of a folder I used:
Set Archive to "Martha:EyeTV Archive"
Set ASize to size of (info for Archive)
I get and error on "info for Archive" saying it can find the file. This is a folder not a file. Do I have to use a shell script:
Set ASize to word 1 of (do shell script "/usr/bin/du -ks" & quoted form of (POSIX path of (Archive as string)))

By the way, since the Standard Additions scripting dictionary describes the “info for” command as deprecated, maybe you'd better use the following code:
set Archive to POSIX file "/Volumes/Martha/EyeTV Archive" as alias
tell application "System Events" to set ASize to size of Archive
You could also ask for the “physical size” property of the Archive folder.

How can I see FOLDER sizes?

Good evening.
Is there any way of seeing the folder sizes?
The sizes seem to be shown only for smaller units than folders.
Thanks for your time.

In addition to dbsneddon's suggestion, if you want to make it on a larger scale you can select a higher level folder, press command+J (command is the apple or propeller type key), the "calculate all sizes" and optionally "all windows"

How can I get the size of all lines or the last line number in a DB?

I want to display a certain number of lines from a DB.
But before I fetch them out, I must know how many lines of this DB has.
I donnot know if there is some methods have this function. I know the last() method can move the cursor to the last line, but some DB cannot support this function.
Could someone know the answer or some examples about displaying data in a jsp?
Thanks a lot.

To get the number of rows in a ResultSet, loop over the result set with while(res.next()). Read each row into an object. Add each object into a, say, LinkedList. At the end, you will have the rows nicely converted to objects (which you probably should do anyway), and list.size() will give the number of objects.
There are other ways to get the number of objects, but list.size() is the easy and reliable way. If you don't need the rows converted to objects ...why did you select them in the first place?
Tricks with last() and whatnot sort of work. They read the entire result set into memory. But you'll need to write the while(res.next()) loop anyway. No point in having the computer do the same thing twice.

I have a new high res 27 in monitor, how do i get text size bigger

I have a new mini and a new top of the line 27 in monitor from dell. with the display port cable i can get the highest resolution which would be great except that much of the text is too small. of course in word or in a browser you can change the display size for the main text, but not in the menu's, in Finder, in outline mode etc. How can i make the basic default text size big enough for my old eyes to read?

Many screen elements are fixed at "pixels", not "inches". Hi-res means you can fit more of them into the screen instead of making them bigger.
You can adjust the resolution to be lower than "max" to make the dock/icons/windowtext bigger.
Another issue is the distance of your (and my ) "old eyes" from the screen. 27 in screens place pixels sometimes further apart than on 22 in screens, so images can look fuzzy unless you move the display 12 more inches away from you.

How can I get the size of conatiner which is kept in the array of conatiner?

I have created an Array of Conatiner in Local variable (say Locals.Array_C). Within Array_C, I have few containers like Cont_1, Cont_2, Cont_3.
Lets consider that there are four(4) Number fields added in the Cont_2.
Here the number of elements in the Cont_2 is 4, but if I want to read this size through TestStand, how can I do that?
I also tried to use "Call PropertyObject.GetNumElements" ActiveX property, but I could not get how to set Object Refernce in this case.
Please help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Locals.Array_C.JPG ‏67 KB

Hi,
Your problem is how you are specify the array part. It may also be what you are using as the reference.
Lets look ate the array part using the SequenceContext as the reference. The lookup string will be:
"Locals.Array_C[1].Cont_2.Elemen4"
If you are using the Locals as the reference the lookup string will be:
"Array_C[1].Cont_2.Element4"
Hope this helps
