PF1 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 This request has been made a few times before, but I am not sure if it will ever make it into a version. I would like to be able to highlight multiple items in the table pane and have Intella tell me the total size of the items highlighted.

ŁukaszBachman Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 How about exporting the selection to CSV with "Size" column visible, then summing it up in a 3rd party spreadsheet editor? I think this should work fine, given that you don't need to use that feature many times per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this should work fine, given that you don't need to use that feature many times per day. That's the thing, I DO need to use this many times per day when working a case in Intella. Many other forensic tools allows for this (EnCase, X-Ways, etc.) and it's a really useful feature. Otherwise, I end up having to export listings five or six times (or more) just to find out what the total resulting size of a keyword search results will be based on variances in the search term list and how the results are assembled. Since Intella is already computing the individual sizes of items in the "size" column, I guess it didn't seem like it would be all that difficult to integrate a feature that would 'sum' the size of the highlighted results.

jon.pearse Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi PF1, We have looked at this and although it seems easy to add, it is not a trivial task. We looked at adding a 'total size' of the selected items next to where the number of selected items is already shown at the top left corner of the Table view. The issues are: 1) the size column is mixed with bytes, KB, MB, GB etc, so the size data will need to be further processed to provide a reliable figure. 2) there would be an overhead calculating the size on every selection of items that the user selects. What has been proposed is to add a right click option that will calculate the size of the selected items. That way the size will be only calculated for the users who use this feature often.

PF1 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 That would be more than acceptable to me, and i understand the overhead. Perhaps it makes sense to use a single size delineation for the size column (i.e. all KB, all MB or all bytes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.pearse Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 We list the sizes in this format so it is easier for human readability. Having large files reported in bytes can be hard to work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
