Shorten a path:

var max = 15;
var f = new PathInfo(new FileInfo(@"C:\Temp\hello.txt"));
Console.WriteLine(f.CompactPathForDisplay(15))

// Result: C:...\hello.txt

Get the size of a file in gigabytes:

var p = new PathInfo(new FileInfo(@"..."));
Console.WriteLine(p.SizeGigaBytes);

Get the size of a directory as a readable string:

var p = new PathInfo(new DirectoryInfo(@"..."));
Console.WriteLine(p.SizeAsString);

// Result: 52,21 Mb

Retrieve directory contents in two levels:

var l = new PathInfo(new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\")).GetDirectoryContent(2);
Console.WriteLine(l.Count);

foreach (var p in l)
    Console.WriteLine(p);

Retrieve directory contents in three levels, if file ending is .ico:

bool Guard(PathInfo p) =>
    p.ContainsDirectory || (p.ContainsFile && p.FullName.EndsWith(".ico", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase));

var l = new PathInfo(new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\")).GetDirectoryContent(3, Guard);
Console.WriteLine(l.Count);

foreach (var p in l)
    Console.WriteLine(p);

Get a temporary full path from a filename:

var x = temp.GetTemporaryFileInfo("MyData.xml")

// x is "C:\Users\mr_anders\AppData\Local\Temp\MyData.xml"
