Edit Reason: Size on disk commentary
)
Hello there,
thanks for the feedback.
Size on disk
I've never seen anyone using this feature for games. It must slow everything down, doesn't it? The measurements are returned by internal .NET library, and seems to be a real hustle to get the compressed size. Some funky Windows business. I'll look into it anyway. I'll add it to known issues for now.
And from cursory research, it is bound to be imprecise, due to many reasons: compression, many small files taking up NTFS clusters, possibly many more
<1GB sizes
Firstly, the rounding is documented on GithHub. For the purpose of disk cleaning, these often do not matter that much. This is not disk tool after all. If you want to download the Divison 2 with the whopping 63 GB, no amount of 0,3 GB games is going to save you.
Loosing data after restart
This must be a thing of importing of the data from the library. Nothing I could fix. Ond the other hand, disk cleaning comes only in times of need, in that case there is a great probability, that you've installed new games, and you'd recalculate the sizes anyway. Also most of the newer games would get patches, DLCs and so on. If you'd want your library sorted by size, I'm sorry. Another thing for known issues.
