Approach for Calculating the Number and Size of Folders When Merging Multiple Root Folders

[kidzgy]

version: 2.51

First, let me outline my requirement: I need to merge multiple HTML files into one. Currently, I have to manually copy the [SNAPDATA] data into the combined HTML file. This approach creates an issue: the header only counts the file and folder quantities and sizes for the single merged HTML file, not the combined total across multiple HTML files.
I'm wondering if it's possible to implement a solution where the header automatically aggregates the file counts, folder counts, and size data from multiple HTML files?

In the first row of [SNAPDATA], we already have data like [numDirs], [numFiles], and [totBytes]. Could we add a formula to the header to automatically sum these values—[numDirs], [numFiles], and [totBytes]?

This is not as trivial as it sounds. In order to calculate this the folder data must be loaded. But in order to quickly display the header and loading information, the html must know what to show before the folder data is loaded. This is especially important for large files. I don't have a good solution for this right now. Support for multiple root has been complicated and it's not 100% ready yet.

Thanks for your reply! Let me elaborate further. Since it's an HTML file, could we use HTML's built-in script to calculate this value? Whether to perform the calculation could be controlled by a parameter set within the HTML file—disabled by default. Users needing it could manually modify the template.html file. Alternatively, could the automatic calculation be disabled when more than a certain number of HTML files are merged? Or, when opening the HTML file, could the calculation of the number of files/folders and total size in the header be deferred?
