There is currently no 64Bit version of TreeSize available. TreeSize is fully 64Bit aware and can be used without restriction on 64Bit systems. A true 64Bit version wouldn't have much advantages and also wouldn't run any faster compare to the 32Bit version, the bottleneck is usually the disk and the Windows API. We will once create a 64Bit version for sure, but there wouldn't be much benefit at the moment.

The full version of TreeSize Professional can be installed on an USB stick and be run from there.

We do supply an MSI file without the need to enter an installation key only to companies that have a site license, a countrywide enterprise license or a worldwide enterprise license. The MSI file can be downloaded in our customer's area.

This highly depends on the performance of your hard disk, your PC and the settings. Just use our free an fully functional trial version and try for yourself. TreeSize scan using parallel threads and you won 't find a hard disk manager that scans faster.

TreeSize stores data only on folder level, otherwise the mount of data would be too large.This is why it can 't display the the size increase of files.We also offer another disk space manager called SpaceObServer which is designed for large servers and continuous reporting. It regularly collects the file system information using a background agent and stores it in a SQL database, including size development. It uses less RAM than TreeSize Pro and the reporting capabilities are faster and more flexible because it is built on a database and collects data on file level. SpaceObServer offers advanced scripting capabilities through OLE Automation. If you are interested, please visit: http://www.jam-software.com/spaceobserver/

This kind of task is moresuitable to our hard disk manager SpaceObServer.By archiving the collecteddirectory information in a database, SpaceObServer enables your to get instantinformation about directory sizes, growth of allocated disc space (for each subdirectory) and to define filters (E.g.: Files create within the last X days)that can be applied immediately on the shown directory brunch.What you could do inTreeSize is to take a look at the "Age of Files" graphics (look forfiles create within the last few days), or compare the current scan with aformer stored XML report ("File > Compare With XML Report").

Yes,TreeSize Professional will also handle files with a full path longer than 255characters correctly. The integrated TreeSize File Search also offers a possibilityto find all files with full path longer than 255 characters.

Do you have activated the "Owner" or the "Permissions" column? In Active Directory environments Windows can take a long time to query thesevalues, and doing this for 414k files can take a significant amount of time. To speed this up, the only option is to turn off these columns using the"View" menu.

It is currently not possible to filter out only folders with a certain name in TreeSize. This can however be achieved very easily aftert exporting the data to excel using Excel 's Auotfilter feature. For V5.4 we plan to improve the "include filter" of TreeSize not to allow filtering by file extensions but also for path fragments like: *\FolderNameInQuestion\* The TreeSize File Search indeed allows to search for files only.
