Status bar indicators

This window is displayed when you choose the Status bar - Indicators command from the View menu. You can use this window to change the set of indicators displayed on the Status bar. This window contains the following areas:

Progress bar

This indicator can be used by shell extensions to display their progress while performing lengthy operations. It is not currently used by AB Commander or Windows Explorer, but it can be used by shell extensions that know how to use it.

Keys (CAPS, NUM, SCRL)

These indicators show the current state of the CAPS, NUM, and SCRL keys.

Memory usage

This indicator shows the percentage of physical RAM (Random Access Memory) used by all currently running processes, including AB Commander and the operating system itself. If it shows 100% (or close to 100%) while you perform your regular tasks, you may want to add more RAM to your computer.

Free drive space

This indicator shows the amount of free space on the active drive (that is, the drive associated with the folder that is currently displayed in the active panel). If the folder currently shown in the active panel is not a real folder, this indicator does not report anything.

File size

This indicator shows the size of the currently focused file in bytes. If the currently focused item is not a file, or the file is not accessible, this indicator does not report anything.

Number of objects

This indicator shows the total number of objects currently displayed in the active panel). If more than one object is selected in the panel, then this indicator shows the number of the selected objects.

Date

This indicator shows the current date, using the system-wide format, as defined by the Control Panel.

Time

This indicator shows the current time, using the system-wide format, as defined by the Control Panel.
