History

In the History tab you can see line charts visualizing the size development of the selected root folder. After each scan the size, allocated space and number of files of the root folder is stored automatically in an XML file in users profile of the logged in user. These sizes are used to create this view. So the shown interval and frequent depends on the scans you have done for this root before.

Please note that only scans of the same path and the same exclude filters will be displayed in the history, because only those share a common base that makes them comparable.

If you are interested in the size development of subfolders in the scanned file system tree, we recommend using our disk space manager SpaceObServer, which archives file system information in a database and is able to track size development down to file level.
