SpaceMan 99 works in a similar way to the Windows Explorer application, except that it has two extra panels at the bottom that are used for showing duplicate files.
The following screen shot shows SpaceMan 99 after a duplicates scan has been run. The various parts of the application window are indicated.
| Toolbar | This provides quick access to the most commonly used menu commands. |
| Folder Browser | This shows a hierarchical view of all the folders on the system. Each folder can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on the + or - symbol next to the folder name. When a folder and all its subfolders have been scanned for disk space, the disk space is shown to the left of the folderÆs name in square brackets. The contents of the folder selected in the Folder browser are shown in the File Browser. |
| Address Box | This shows the currently selected folder. New paths can be entered in this box, or the last 20 quickly accessed from the drop-down list. |
| File Browser | This shows the folders and files in the currently selected folder. When a file has been scanned to test for duplicates, a symbol will appear to the left of its name, to show whether it is a duplicate or not. When all the files in a folder have been scanned to test for duplicates, a symbol will appear next to that folderÆs name to show whether that folder is an exact duplicate of another folder. |
| Status Bar | This shows status information, such as the folder currently being scanned if a scan is in progress. |
| Duplicates List | When two (or more) duplicate files are found, a line is added to this list which shows the names of the duplicate files, and the size of the files. |
| Find Duplicates Options | These controls set whether duplicate files are scanned for, and if so, the criteria that must be met for two files to be considered to be duplicates. |
| Duplicate Files | This shows the individual files in the duplicates set selected in the Duplicates list. All the files shown in this list are duplicates of each other. |
The sizes of each of these panels can be changed by moving the bars that run between them. There is a single bar running horizontally that separates the folder and file browsers from the duplicates list and the duplicate files browsers. This can be dragged up or down. There are two vertical bars that can be dragged independently. One separates the folder browser from the file browser, and the other separates the duplicates list browser from the duplicate files browser.
