When I change certain settings, like the file age intervals, it seems that TreeSize needs to rescan the entire volume. Can this be avoided?
To keep scan times and memory consuption low, TreeSize aggregates its data on folder level. Therefore a rescan is needed if certain settings are changed.
We offer another disk space manager called SpaceObServer. It regularly collects the file system information using a background agent and stores it in a SQL database, including size development and (optionally) all permissions. The reporting is faster and more flexible compared to TreeSize, because it is built on a database and collects data on file level. Here a rescan is not necessary in these scenarios.
