- Version 1.77
-
-
- Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize tells you
- where precious space has gone to. TreeSize can be started from the context
- menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including
- its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will
- see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already
- see results while TreeSize is working. The space, which is wasted by the file
- system can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Unzip the archive into a temporary folder, right-click on 'TInstall.inf' and
- select "Install". TreeSize is then copied to your Windows directory and appears
- in the start menu and in the context menu of every folder and drive. TreeSize
- can be completely uninstalled via Control Panel / Software.
-
- Note: The installation under Windows 95/98 may have problems if the files
- are placed in a folder with long file names in the path. In this case
- Windows may ask for a disk "TreeSize". You can then either place the files
- in a folder with only short names in the path (e.g. C:\TEMP) or, when the
- dialog appears, just browse for the original folder where you unzipped
- the files.
-
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- * TreeSize requires V4.70 or higher of COMCTL32.DLL. This version is
- available from Microsoft since October 1996 and is required by nearly all
- modern software. Since it is installed on approximately 99% of all PCs,
- we decided not to include it, because this reduces the download size by
- 430kb. For the unlikely case that you receive an error message concerning
- COMCTL32.DLL or the images on the toolbar are missing, please download
- Microsoft's update of COMCTL32.DLL (430kb) from:
- http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/ie401/patch/comcontrol/en/401comupd.exe
-
-
- TIPS & ANNOTATIONS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The following information is important. Provided are instructions and
- information which makes understanding of TreeSize and how to use it easier.
- * The "wasted space" is the amount of space in clusters which is not
- completely filled (the last cluster of every file or if the file is smaller
- than one cluster) The file system FAT of Windows 95 has very big cluster sizes
- (up to 32k), so the amount of wasted space may significant (up to 25%).
- Please note: size of files + wasted space = allocated space.
- For a file of 1 KB size on a 1.2 GB hard disk you have wasted space of 31kb and
- allocated space of 32kb.
- * To reduce the wasted space on your hard disk, put folders with a lot of
- wasted space on a compressed drive, or use FAT32 or Windows 2000/XP with NTFS.
- You can also make smaller partitions, but this increases the number of drive
- letters.
- * On a compressed drive, the values for allocated and wasted space may be
- incorrect. Normally, on a compressed drive only a little space is wasted, but
- it depends on the type of compression. TreeSize Professional has full support
- for NTFS compression.
- * All folders which are visible in the window, will be included in the printed
- report. If you want a complete report, select the top folder and select
- "Full Expand" from the context menu.
- * The small indicator bars, which can be selected to appear in the view menu,
- indicate the size of a folder relative to the scanned folders. Large folders are
- additionally marked with a yellow bar and very large folders with a red bar.
- * With a user defined cluster size, you can look what the values for occupied
- and wasted space would be with another cluster size on your disk. A rescan
- of the current folder is necessary when you change the cluster size.
- * You can use the CD-ROM clustersize to determine how much space a directory
- tree would occupy on a CD-ROM.
- * By default the Windows folder "System Volume Information" is not accessible
- for users as well as Administrators (you can check this in the Windows
- Explorer after switching the hiddon files to "on").
- * Only file system folder can be scanned with TreeSize
- * To view the files in a folder, select 'Open' from the context menu of a folder
- * The 'filter' and 'user defined cluster size' are not saved to the
- registry in order to avoid wrong values being used by TreeSize next time.
- * "Access Denied" and other error messages are displayed by Windows and can be
- suppressed in the Professional version.
- * Treesize displays German menus if "German" is selected in the control panel.

- TREESIZE PROFESSIONAL
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- TreeSize Professional is also available. In addition to the features
- of TreeSize, it has some powerful new features:
- * It is possible to save the scanned Data to a text or HTML file , copy it to
- the clipboard or export it directly to Excel
- * TreeSize Pro can show the results for each folder grouped by user or
- by extension.
- * TreeSize Pro is now able to save its data to an XML file and to load it
- again later.
- * A saved XML file can be used to compare it against the current version of
- the file system branch. The difference between the two scans will be
- displayed and makes it easy to see which folders have grown.
- * Columns can be configured separately for the TreeSize Pro window, Excel
- export, HTML Export, Text export and printed reports. Some new columns have
- been added. The columns can be selected and sorted in the Options dialog.
- * 3D bar and pie charts can be displayed or printed
- * See all details (size, allocated, wasted, percent, files) at a glance.
- * The last access and last change date of every file and folder is shown
- * Multiple Folders can be scanned multithreaded in the same window
- * Values are displayed in the form: 1,234,567.0 kb. The number of decimals
- and the unit (KB/MB/GB) is configurable
- * The contents of a directory can be printed, including all files and
- the corresponding icons
- * You can search disks for obsolete files (like temporary files, browser cache
- files, etc.) and for very large files
- * Under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 the owner of files and folders is displayed
- * Full support for NTFS compression (the compression rate is displayed too)
- and for symbolic links of NTFS5.
- * Under Windows NT/2000/XP TreeSize Pro is able to scan folders to which the
- current user does not have access to
- * A list of all files in the scanned file system branch can be exported
- * Small folders can be removed from the tree to have a better overview
- * Command line options allow scheduled scans
- * Help file and printable manual
