Q:	How can I specify the columns that should be included in the printed report / exported Excel file?

A:	Under "View > Options > Columns" you may choose the included columns after selecting one of the export options in the pull down box on top of the window. They will also be used for scheduled scans as long as they are started under the same user account..

Q:	How can I generate a list of files that belong to a certain user?

Please make sure in the Options of the "Scan" tab that statistical data for the users is collected. Scan the folder and wait for its completion. Go to the "Users" tab in the right pane, right-click on a user and select "Limit on this user". Then right-click on the root of the scanned directory and choose "Export" > "Copy List of Files" which may take a while. Then paste the file list e.g. to a spreadsheet.

Q:	Why does TreeSize Professional Professional not export the file names to my Excel / HTML / Text file?

The export functions of TreeSize Professional were mainly designed to export information about folders and their size. However, you can copy a complete list of files to the clipboard using the context menu of any folder in the tree. You may also use the custom search type of the TreeSize Professional File Search to list all or some files of a directory branch. These lists can be exported as well, e.g. to Excel files. You may also try our freeware command line utility FileList which was designed to generate simple file lists without the overhead of a GUI application. Our product SpaceObServer is able to perform the exports including the files right from its underlying database.
To get a complete list of all subfolders when exporting please make sure that the Option "Full Branch" is selected under "File" > "Export" > "Customize" > "Export".
