Tips & Annotations

•	Especially scans of larger network drives may take a long time. With the Professional Edition you may perform such scans overnight using Scheduled Scans and save the results to a XML file which can be loaded again later.

•

The last access date is the day when a file was used the last time; e.g. when a program was executed, a DLL was loaded or a bitmap was shown the last time. So if a file has not been accessed for a long time, it may probably not be needed on your system. This is a great possibility to recognize and remove unused files from your Windows and System directory. The last access date that TreeSize Professional shows for a folder is the latest last access date of all files in the folder's directory branch.

•	Use the TreeSize File Search to find obsolete files on your hard drives.

•	In the main windows TreeSize Professional supports drag&drop file system operations.

•	All folders that are visible in the directory tree on the left will also appear in the printed report or the exported file. Alternatively, you can set in the Options of TreeSize Professional to always print or export all folders of the current directory tree.

•	The Filter and User defined cluster size settings in the Options are not saved in order to avoid wrong values when using TreeSize Professional the next time.

•	You can use the CD-ROM view to determine how much space a directory tree would occupy on a CD or DVD.

•	You can use wildcards in the paths to scan and so even scan paths like "S:\Users\R" or "R:\\MyVideos".

•	You can scan all shared drives in a domain by entering the domain name in the drive combo box.

•	TreeSize Professional ships with an XSLT file that formats the data inside the XML file for output in a browser that supports XSLT processing.

For continuous analyzing of disk usage on large servers we recommend our product SpaceObServer. It collects the data using a background system service and stores it in a SQL database. It uses less RAM than TreeSize Professional, and the reporting capabilities are more flexible because it is built on a database.
