Status bar tweaks
Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:37 pm
As requested, I'm copying this from a bug thread over here for proper separation/tracking:
Implement changes to make use of the ample status bar space and have it show # of supported files / # of files / # of folders / total # of objects, and which of these show and in which order could be configured by the user.
Also, having total # of objects / # of objects selected followed by the word "selected" seems backwards to me. Instead of reading 200 object(s) / 3 object(s) selected (which at first made me think it was a bug), maybe have it say one of the following:
3 object(s) / 200 object(s) selected
3 object(s) selected / 200 objects(s)
3 / 200 object(s) selected
Furthermore, it seems to me it shouldn't be that difficult to have the code recognize if the number is =1 or /=1, and adjust whether it says object or objects accordingly:
If var = 1 Then Display var + "object"
Else Display var + "objects"
End If
Finally, all the info in the status bar kind of runs together. It could use a bit more spacing and maybe colored separators to help break it up.
