- Version 3.13
-
-
- TreeSize Professional is a powerful and flexible harddisk space manager for
- Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP. Find out which folders are the largest on your drives
- and recover megabytes on them. TreeSize Professional shows you the size,
- allocated and wasted space, the number of files, 3D bar and pie charts, the
- last access date, the file owner, the NTFS compression rate and much more
- information for several folders or drives you choose. It also lets you search
- for old, big and temporary files. The application has an intuitive Explorer-
- like user interface and it is fast and multithreaded. You can print detailed
- reports or export the collected Data to Excel and to an HTML, XML or ASCII
- file. TreeSize Pro can be started from the context menu of every folder or
- drive.

- KNOWN PROBLEMS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Please report errors and problems to the e-mail address below. Here's a list
- of known bugs and problems:
-
- * The Excel export does not work if you run TreeSize Pro as a scheduled job
- and are not logged in while TreeSize Pro is running. It seems that Excel
- hangs in this case, but we are not sure what the reason for this is. We
- will try to support the Excel format natively in one of the next releases
- to overcome this problem.

- ~~~~~~~
- Version 3.13: Released on 18 Jun 2004
- * In V3.12 the grouping by users feature was not working correctly.
- This has been fixed.
-
- Version 3.12: Released on 11 Jun 2004
- * Bugfix: When the view was limited to one user, the files on the details list
- always showed up with zero size.
- * If a user is selected in the user list for filtering, this user is now shown
- bold.
- * Bugfix: When the left pane was limited to a user, the size information shown
- for the [Files] items was always shown as 0.

- * Bugfix: In the previous versions, files which size differed only by a few
- bytes were sometimes not sorted correctly in the Details list.

- time and made the application look freezed. This has been improved.
- * The sizes in the file system tree now get updated if a file is deleted
- in the details view.

- a folder from TreeSize and recalculates the values without deleting it from

- toolbar of TreeSize Professional.

- mutliple files with the Shift or Ctrl key and then using the context menu.

- recycle bin, to delete them from harddisk or to move them to a given folder.
- This allows you to easily archive or zip these files. The directory
- structure is preserved when moving!
