v 4.0.2 updated on Aug 12, 2006

* TreeSize now scans a file system branch with multiple threads. The number of threads that are used is adjusted automatically dependant on the system load. Because of the latency of hard disks and network drives, this new feature drastically reduces the time necessary for scanning a file system branch. * In the New Dialog "Schedule Tasks" (Tools / Schedule Tasks) you can now add customized TreeSize Tasks to the Windows Scheduled Tasks. * The XML import, export and compare have been improved. All XML operations are much faster now and use considerably less memory. The size of the XML-files has been reduced as well. * The tree control was replaced with a faster one, which increases the performance of a scan and expand operations in the file system tree. * The tree now shows large hint windows that include detailed information about each node. This feature can be turned in the Options. * Most parts of TreeSize are now Unicode enabled under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. Windows 98/ME are still supported, but with limited Unicode capabilities. * The Options dialog now has a checkbox, that let's you decide, whether or not TreeSize should appear in the Explorer context menu of Folders for the current user. * A new drive list box in the bottom left corner provides a quick information about the size and the free space of the local drives. Additional remote drives can be added using the context menu. * The top 100 largest files of the scanned path are now shown on an additional tab on the right pane. * Added support for file system Drag&Drop operations in the main window of TreeSize. * The HTML export is now UTF8-encoded and exports Unicode folder names correctly. * The extensions statistics now shows the Windows description and the corresponding icon for each file type. * In the Options you can now define what TreeSize should do when it starts without a path to scan. It may scan a list of fix paths, it may scan the paths that were active the last time it was used, or it may simply do nothing, which is the default behaviour. * Two new columns have been added that show the MS Office author and the MS Office last change date. These values get extracted from all MS Office files. * The context menu of the tree now allows to create a new folder. The shortcut for this operation is Ctrl+N. * All percent values do now have a bar chart beneath them that indicates the percent value. * It is now possible to compress and decompress files and entire folders with NTFS compression using the context menu of TreeSize. The values inside TreeSize will be updated on-the-fly. * A style sheet can now be used with exported HTML files. The style sheet file can be specified under View / Options / Export / HTML. * The width of the columns in the printed reports can now be adjusted under View / Options / Columns / Printed Report. * A scan that has been opened and compared through command line options, can now again be exported through a command line option like /XML or /EXCEL. * A new menu item in the Help menu allows to check, if a newer version of TreeSize is available. * TreeSize was successfully tested on Windows Vista Beta 2. FILE SEARCH: * The TreeSize File Search now uses multiple threads per drive which reduces the time that is needed for scanning a drive. * The list controls have been replaced with faster ones, which reduces the time needed during the scan as well as the time needed for move operations especially for a large number of results. * The selected items in a list can now be copied to the clipboard using the context menu. * The TreeSize File search does now fully support Unicode file and folder names. * The speed and reliability of the "Move To" feature has been significantly improved. * The Move-To-Zip feature and the "Save Results" button now have a progress indicator. * The querying of the file owners can now be turned off in the View Options if not needed. Querying the file owner is a slow operation under Windows.

v 3.33 updated on Nov 23, 2005

* Bugfix: Folders starting with two or more dots were not included in the scan. * Bugfix: The setting for printing the whole directory tree (instead of the expanded only) was not producing the expected results. * Bugfix: The Details list was not filled for folders that are mountpoints. * Bugfix: Occasionally an error occurred if a folder was selected in the tree that was deleted remotely from another PC. * An error message was removed, that occurred for loaded XML reports, for which the original path is not available on the local machine.

v 3.32 updated on Oct 12, 2005

* Introduced a mixed mode for units, in which an appropriate unit (KB/MB/GB) is used dependant on the displayed size. * TreeSize Pro now listens to Windows file change notifications in order to update changed directories automatically. Since V3.0 TreeSize Pro already updated the size information of a directory (non recursively), if its content was displayed in the Details view. All automatic updates can be turned on or off using a new button in the toolbar. * A new column has been added that can show the file version that is included in most EXE, DLL, OCX etc. files. Additionally a column has been added that shows the title (volume label and drive letter) of a scan. This can be useful for archiving purposes. * The context menu of the Details item now contains a submenu with all available information about this item, including the ones of non visible columns. This submenu can also be used to activate or deactivate columns. * The main menu bar now has a "Branch" menu that contains some actions that can be applied to complete scans / branches. The "Refresh All" menu item that refreshes all scanned drives / directories that are currently present in TreeSize Pro has been moved from the "File" to the "Tools" menu. * The users and the extension sheet now have a small horizontal bar chart that shows the distribution among the users / extensions. * New command line option /EXCLUDE that allows specifying exclude patterns for scanning. See help file for details. * New command line option /OPEN that opens a saved XML report on application start. It can be combined with /COMPARE. * TreeSize Pro now ships with an XSLT file that formats a saved XML file for output in a browser that supports XSLT processing (e.g. Firefox >V1.0 or Internet Explorer >V5.5). But especially for large XML files the browsers may take a long time to process the data.
