Drive explorer enhancements

New features have been added to the Drive explorer in the IBM® Planning Analytics Workspace modelling workbench.

View the number of files in a directory
When you are in a directory, you can now view the number of items in that directory. This feature is helpful for providing at-a-glance information about the files in large directories. For example, you can see the number of log files you have in a logging directory.

View disk space
You can now view the total amount of disk space you have and the amount of disk space you have left.
Drive explorer storage
Inline notifications
The drive explorer now displays inline notifications about the status of actions you perform. For example, when compressing files, an inline notification appears when the process is being performed, and when it is complete.

Unzipping files
The process for unzipping files has improved. You can now expand a file into the directory you are viewing, or into a folder.
To expand a file into the directory you are viewing, click Expand.
To expand a file into a folder, click Expand to, name the folder, and click Create. The contents of the unzipped file are in the newly created folder.
Overwrite notification when expanding a file
If you expand a file to an existing folder with the same name, the following notification appears:

You cannot choose which files are overwritten. The notification appears only once.
Tm1s.log
The tm1s.log file is now visible in the directory. The file's presence can be seen, but it cannot be opened or deleted.
Improved performance
The performance of drive explorer is improved when displaying a large number of files and folders.
