Overview

The Proxy Systems Ltd. Space Daemon is a hard disk utility designed to diagnose the usage of a hard drive.  The Space Daemon will help you answer three fundamental questions, ‘Where did all my hard drive go?’, ‘Why can’t Explorer give me some summary information?’ and ‘Why is it so hard to find duplicate files?.


Features

When SpaceDaemon starts it will initially present a drive selection box.  Select a drive and press ‘Begin’ to scan the drive.  SpaceDaemon  will determine if there is a disk in the drive, if the drive is invalid you will see [image] a:\ - Drive not ready.  As  SpaceDaemon scans a valid drive the drive totals will be continually updated.

Folders

The Folder tab will display the name and size of all of the folders on the drive.

For example, on drive ‘C’ SpaceDaemon would display:

This means that  390.2 MB is used by files and folders below the root directory. By clicking on the plus sign all of the folders below the root directory are listed.  Clicking on the minus sign will hide the folders.

When a folder is selected,  information about the selected folder (i.e. file/folder counts within the selected folder and the space used by those items) is show in the Selected folder information box.

Files in Folders

By selecting the ‘Files  in Folders’ tab, SpaceDaemon will display the files within the selected folder  You can sort the list by clicking on the Size label at the top of the listbox.


Features - Registered Version

Top 20

Registered users of  SpaceDaemon will also be able to use the Top 20 tab.  This tab displays the 20 largest files found on the selected drive.

Save Information

Another feature available to registered users is the Save Information button.  This button allows the Top 20 information as well as the Folders list to be saved to disk as a text file.

Duplicates

The ‘Duplicates’ tab displays the file name of all files with duplicate names found on the selected drive.  Double clicking on a particular file name will open a window displaying the directory path, size and time stamp of all the duplicate files.

Duplicate files can be deleted directly from this screen by selecting the appropriate file and pressing the ‘Delete’ button

The ‘Same Name any Extension’ checkbox will show all files that match the name of the file selected, but with any file extension combination.  It is effective for finding files like Order.frm, Order.txt etc.


Glossary

Slack -   	Is defined as space allocated to a file but not being used by that file.

       	For example, on a 3.5” floppy diskette, one file with a size of 1 byte will

                     	actually use 512 bytes (approx.) of disk space.  The slack on that file will be 511

       	bytes.

Folder -	Is the Win95 name for a directory.

kilobyte    (KB)- 	Unit of measure (1024 bytes).

megabyte (MB)-	Unit of measure (1024kb or 1048576 bytes).
