2. Use

In order to use DirSizeCalc Charts select a folder in Total Commander and press F3 to display the folder size information in a new Lister window or press Ctrl+Q to display the folder size information in the Quickview window.
If something else is displayed you might want to have a look a the Lister plugin hierarchy in the Lister settings in Total Commander. Press '4' to navigate between installed Lister plugins capable of handling folders. In some cases you might have to press '4' twice. It's a known issue.

2.1 Navigate

In order to navigate between folders press 'Return' or doubleclick on the subfolder. In order to navigate to parent directory you have to press 'Backspace'.

2.2 Delete items

You may move items to the recycle bin by pressing 'Delete'. If moving to recycle bin isn't possible, the files will be deleted. In all cases you have to confirm the operation.

2.3 Additional values for displayed values

DirSizeCalc shows some tokens in front of the calculation result, if the complete directory content couldn't be retrieved. This can be the case for several reasons:

AD = Access denied. This error is displayed if the current user has no sufficient access permissions for opening the directory.
U = Unreadable Unicode name. This error occurs if file name contains characters which don't match the currently set Windows code page and you have deactivated storing of short file names.
E = Unknown error. Unknown error should not be displayed at all. When it's displayed please report it to me.
NF = Not followed reparse point. The user has set the option to now follow reparse points which results in not including these these files in the calculation.

2.4 Size display of (almost) empty directories

There can be multiple reasons for a directory size of 0 bytes. This information is displayed left to the size when appropriate. The following cases are distinguished:

The directory contains only files of size 0. In this case DirSizeCalc displays 0 as size.
The directory contains only empty subdirectories but no files. In this case "No files" is being displayed.
The directory is really empty In this case "Empty is being displayed.
