Windows 10: Accidently deleted attributes of all files and folder inside my user home directory. Is my...

My Big MistakeIt all began when I wanted to use PowerShell to set the attribute of some personal folders matching a specific regex to "Hidden". For my defense of what follows: I was way overslept!. I quickly found the following suggestion on a forum here, which I blindly executed '.' here is my user directoryGet-ChildItem -path "." -Recurse -Force ForEach-Object { $_.Attributes += "Hidden" } I noticed afterwards that this was just a troll, and all my files where hidden...Well, I then tried to quickly fix it viaGet-ChildItem -path "." -Recurse -Force ForEach-Object { $_.Attributes =

Directory Size Utility

First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel?
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?

 

Directory Size Utility

Thanks buddy! Yea, this section's not dead. Kreij and I have big plans for this section. I don't want to give nothing away, but we have some bigger projects down the road. *Toast :toast: I feel I'm pretty good at coding with different languages, but I'm well behind Kreij's level of experience with those other Languages. I've been working on those other languages, and soon I'll feel comfortable enough to start, and not feel like I'm holding the project back. *Toast :toast:

Now on to your suggestions.

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that? Yea, that's been bothering me and I like your suggestion "Add Folder". I'll change it on the next release.
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs) I could add this, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. By subfolders you mean add all the folders in the left panel to the right panel? Those folders are all the subfolders in the "Get folder".
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories? I'll add this on the next release.

These are all great suggestions! Thanks Drone! *Toast :toast:
