Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Columns tab allows you to choose the columns that should be visible. You may choose the columns separately for each "output media" (details view, Excel export, printed report, text file, CSV-Datei) by first selecting the appropriate entry in the pull-down box on the top. The following columns are available:

Name

The name of the folder or file

Full Path

The full path, including the object's name

Size

The size of the object

Allocated

The space that the object currently occupies on disk (see also: Wasted Space and NTFS Compression)

Files

The number of files in a directory branch

Folders

The number of sub-folders in a directory branch

Wasted

The amount of space that is wasted by the file system (see also: Wasted Space)

% of Parent

The amount of space in percent that a folder or file occupies relative to its parent folder

Last Change

The last change date of the object. TreeSize Professional calculates the last change and last access date more precisely than the Windows Explorer, because it takes all files in all sub-folders into account. So the values shown in the Windows Explorer may differ.

Last Access

The last access date of the object

Compr.

The size in percent by which an object has been compressed using the built in compression of the file system (see also: Notes on NTFS)

Owner

The user name that owns a folder or file

CD-ROM Size

The amount of space that an object would occupy on a CD or DVD with ISO file system

Current Date

The current date. This column can be useful if you want to process the collected data, e.g. in a database.

Attributes

The file attributes Read-only (R), Hidden (H), System (S), Archive (A), Offline (O). Files containing NTFS alternate data streams are shown with an asterisk (*) here.

File Type

The file type, e.g. "Text file"

Dir Level

The level of an object in the file system. This value can be useful when processing the collected data.

Creation Date

The date at which the object has been created

Path (Without Name)

The full path to object, not containing the object's name

Avg. File Size

The average size of a file in a folder

Permissions

The access permissions of the object in the format: Username1: +/-R +/-W +/-X   Username2: ... where "+" means the right is granted and "-" means that the right is denied. "R" stands for read access and "W" for right access. For files "X" means the right to execute, for directories the right to list the directory content.

File Version

The version number that is included in EXE, DLL OCX and similar binary files

Title of Scan

By default the title (volume label and drive letter) of a scan. It can be changed using Set Title in the File menu. This value can be useful for archiving purposes.

MS Office Author

This column shows the author information that is extracted from the meta data of the file, taken from MS Office and compatible files.

MS Office Last Save Date

This column shows the date on which the file was saved the last time, taken from MS Office and compatible files. This information is extracted from the meta data of the file.

Hard Links

The number of hard links to a file. Empty in case of folders.

Error

In case a folders could not be scanned, this column will contain the message of the error that occurred.

Note:The column settings of the text export also effect the export to clipboard!

The column that should be visible in the details list can easily be selected by right-clicking on the column header:

Data_Details_en        

Export

Full Export

With this option activated, the whole file system tree that was scanned will be exported or printed.

Expanded Folders Only

Only those parts of the file system tree will be exported that are expanded on the left pane of the main window.

Header Line

Use this option to control if a header line containing the column headers should be added to the exported file or the printed report.

Units

If the check box "Include in Export" is checked, units like "KB", "MB", or "%" will be included in the exported data. Uncheck this option if you would like plain values to be exported. Without the units the thousands separators will also be omitted, which simplifies further processing of exported values. Check the check box "Always Use Byte Values" if you would always like plain byte values to be exported, independent of the currently used unit.

Default Export File

Here you can specify an Excel file into which exported data should be written by default (Professional Edition only).

Column Width

This option is only available for printed reports and allows you to adjust the column width of the column that is currently selected in the list above.
