(#f57rmoq) @movq That's what I figured, since `ncdu` shows it at the bottom. ;-) But it's actually pretty smart, to be honest. More space for precious content. And the title bar exists anyway, so why not make use of it with something helpful? Also, with entries being in descending order, it's actually natural to show the sum as the even higher number above the largest entry and not at the bottom in another status line widget. 8-)

(#f57rmoq) There you go, multithreading. 🥳 I tested this in QEMU, which luckily supports throttling disk I/O, so I can make sure that scanning the disk actually takes a while. (Still boggles my mind a bit. When OS/2 2.x came out, DOS was still the norm for us and I didn’t even know what multithreading was. I really didn’t appreciate this operating system enough back then – only now.)

(#f57rmoq) PMdusage is nearing completion. The table items are clickable now.

(#f57rmoq) @lyse Yeah, I was too lazy to introduce a new widget for that (and the current directory), so I just (ab)used the titlebar. %)

After a bug in the Open Watcom OS/2 resource compiler has been fixed (imagine that – they still fix bugs related to OS/2! 🤯💚), I was able to make some more progress with the OS/2 GUI version of my little disk usage tool. It now has a menu bar and a dialog to open another directory: The video includes the ZMODEM transfer process of the 50 kB `.EXE` file from my laptop. It’s a bit lengthy, but I kept it in for nostalgia. 😅 Next up is probably multithreading: Do the disk scanning in a background thread so the UI doesn’t freeze. (This is running on a Compact Flash card, a real hard disk would be much slower.)

(#f57rmoq) @movq Oh nice, it even shows the sum in the title bar.

(#f57rmoq) @movq 50 kB executable sizes, nice! I can't even recall when I came across one this small. The good old days.

(#f57rmoq) @movq Cool, nice progress! :-)

(#f57rmoq) And, of course, at some point the directory items should be clickable, so you can navigate the tree as usual. That’s much less interesting than delving into threading, though. 😅

(#f57rmoq) @lyse The magic of dynamic linking (and C). 😅 It has pros and cons, smaller binary size surely is one of the advantages. Go’s huge binary sizes is something that I’ve never gotten used to. 🫤 (Rust *can* be a little better at it, but they’re still very large as well.)
