Length-format differs

[theuserbl]

There are some differences to Get-ChildItem.

A minor one is, that the date begins two spaces to early and the text "LastWriteTime" one space to early.

Harder is the complete "Length"-column: Directories, which having in Get-ChildItem no length-output and also on the cmd.exe dir command never hand an length, have in Get-ChildItemColor a length of 1. And bigger files are shown in "KB", "MB" and "GB", which makes them harder to differ, then giving out the exact byte-number of the file.

Ok, if I change in the file FileInfo.ps1 in the function Write-Color-LS the line

Write-host ("{0,10} " -f (Write-FileLength $item.length)) -NoNewline

to

 if ($color -ne "Blue") {
    Write-host ("{0,10} " -f $item.length) -NoNewline
 } else {
    Write-host ("{0,10} " -f "") -NoNewLine
 }

it helps for the Legth column. The formatting of the complete table is still not the same like in the original one, but it looks then a lot better. Before the directories are no number and the file size is as exact printed. But I don't know, why anybody have included Write-FileLength, which makes it incompatible to the original Get-ChildItem.

Also is my fix a little bit dirty, because it looks at the color. If anybody used an other color then blue for the directories, they have again a 1 before it. And if any body changed the color of any other file to blue, there don't will be shown the file size. But that is a quick and dirty hack. Don't know at the moment, how to find out at this place, if it is the length of an directory or an file.
