N T F S R A T I O =================== Version 1.2 NTFS offers file based compression but the compression rate isn't displayed anywhere. For any folder on an NTFS volume, NTFSRatio shows the size and the compression rate of this folder and also of its subfolders. Compression and decompression can be done inside NTFSRatio with immediate review of the result. NTFSRatio can be called from the Explorer context menu of any folder. INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Execute NTFSRatioSetup.exe and follow the instructions. NTFSRatio can be uninstalled using the Software applet in the control panel. TIPS & ANNOTATIONS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The easieast way to start NTFSRatio is from the Explorer context menu of a folder. * By double clicking on a subfolder, a new window will be opened that shows the size and compression rate of the subfolders. To do this, a rescan of the folder is currently necessary, which is fast on local drives due to caching but slow on network drives. * By right clicking on a folder, the Explorer context menu will displayed. There are two additional menu entries on the bottom of the context menu which can be used to compress or uncompress this folder. The context menu of the scanned folder is accessible by right clicking on the background of the list COPYRIGHT & LICENSE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NTFSRatio is mailware, which means you can use NTFSRatio without charge and distribute the complete archive.
