File Size on Toolbar

A VS Code Extension to display text file sizes on the toolbar below because I am fed-up of VS Code not including it in the main app.

Features

  1. Fast and snappy file size display on the toolbar
  2. No configuration required. It just works.
  3. Live file size for Untitled files
  4. Updates file size display on save for named files.
  5. Runs on start-up.

For example if there is an image subfolder under your extension project workspace:

Preview

This extension does not work with images, binaries, blobs and other file types. Support may come in the future. Open a PR if you want it sooner.

Requirements

  1. For development, run npm install to install the node modules.
  2. For Debugging, go to Debug panel and Run Extension to start a VS Code debugging session with the extension.

Extension Settings

None as of yet. It a simple application lol.

Known Issues

  • Does not work against non-text files
  • Events are called too frequently for Untitled files.

Release Notes

Will add more as I progress through it more.

1.0

Release!

  1. Shows size for text files in human readable units.
