Version 8.3

New functions

  • New central search index: SpaceObServer now has a new service that makes the SpaceObServer database specifically searchable. In addition to the metadata, a full text index can optionally be created for paths scanned by SpaceObServer. Our search tool UltraSearch is the first product that can use this central search index directly - this makes searching for files and content significantly faster, while at the same time reducing the load on the file servers. SpaceObServer thus becomes the central index service in corporate environments.

  • The SpaceObServer Standard Edition has a new name: SpaceObServer DataCentral.

Improvements

  • The order of the options in the scan settings and in the dialog for adding new scans has been adjusted so that the most relevant are at the top.

  • The automatic installer for the Express Edition of Microsoft SQL Server has been improved: The progress is now displayed during the installation and at the end the configuration parameters in the database options are automatically set, and a database is created.

  • When exporting the list of duplicate files, the option "Reload per subfolder" was incorrectly not taken into account, so that incorrect content was exported if this option was not activated. This problem has been fixed.

  • Various other minor improvements and bug fixes have been incorporated.
