But... what about this ?

Yes, that´s the standard selection
I mean a property where you use less information as in the DFS screen in general settings

 

[catavolt]

Maybe I explain it that way:
If you activate only one drive (the drive you use for recordings,) and use onlx s few properties for that, then the display in e.g. TV Recordings is OK - but the display in the DSF screen in settings general looks poor.
If you activate more drives and use the recommended properties, the display in DSF screen in settings general looks good, but in TV Recordings you have a lot of scrolling.
Therefore I´d like to have an extra property for the display in e.g. TV recordings showing only the drive for recordings.
Hope that is understandable?

I don't understand infos in red/blue bar.
Not the correct available for C: nor E:

That percentages is a summery of all free space of all selected drives, therefore my wish for an extra property

 

[catavolt]

The changelog v0.5 of the plugin lists the following: added #DriveFreeSpace.Enabled and #DriveFreeSpace.X.Enabled properties - first will contain true/false strings depending on weather any drive has been selected, second will contain true/false strings depending on weather drive X is selected.

That's interesting - so how would this work? What to put in the GUI text of plugin?

 

[catavolt]

I would put infos a bit down (red/blue bar too high) and, more on the left side...

Better?

I stop for today.
Just one remark.
Globally, I'm not sure users will go in general settings to see DFS.
But for sure, in home, recorded, scheduled (and just discovered now, display DFS infos in TV Search too), it could be more useful.

@catavolt To be honest, I just found out about this plugin, I've never even seen it before. But also, I am not interested in it, if I run out of space on NAS, NAS will tell me about it, and if there is room, I do not care how much of it is left there. For me, this plugin does not bring any useful information.

But I startet all this work because you wanted an extra page in settings
So I'll drop further development and stay with what we had, just an extra info in recordings screen - the rest will stay as it was.
Thx for your attention and support

Not all people use a NAS for recordings.

No no, remember.

At first stage, there were overlap in home because, I didn't use DFS plugin.
After I added it to MP, you fixed another overlap or misplaced in home, we talk about the scroll in the home for more than one disk, I found info was also displayed in scheduled and TV search.
The only thing asked for was the useful TV recorded part.

And then, another user gave the information that someone else made a mod in another skin in settings.
So, I wondered if it could be interesting to switch the plugin from process to windows.
And finally, I thought it was not worth to.

Then, you decided to work in general settings part.
Here is the problem because, you need different behaviour of the plugin, depending where you want to display infos.
(C: need to be checked, another property, ...).

Then, I'm not sure it is interesting to work on 2 parts (settings and home/TV).
So, it's your choice but, if you decided to keep only one part, I think better would be to not go with settings because I'm not sure users will go there to see disk info.
And IIRC another plugin did that, long time ago (wasn't it HTPCinfo plugin or something like that ?)
