Overview
TreeSize Professional

V2.4

TreeSize Professional is a powerful and flexible harddisk space manager for Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000. Find out which folders are the largest on your drives and recover megabytes on it. TreeSize Professional shows you the size, allocated and wasted space, the number of files, 3D bar and pie charts, the last access date, the file owner, the NTFS compression rate and much more information for several folders or drives you choose. It also lets you search for old, big and temporary files. The application has an intuitive Explorer-like user interface and it is fast and multithreaded. You can print detailed reports or export the collected Data to Excel and to an HTML or ASCII file. TreeSize Pro can be started from the context menu of every folder or drive.

For every button and menu item in the TreeSize Professional window, a short description is displayed in the status bar. If you have further questions, you can contact JAM Software.

Installation

To install TreeSize Professional, execute Setup.exe or Tsp2-reg.exe on the install media and follow the instructions. The Setup program then copies the necessary files to your harddisk and creates a new program group in the Start Menu. TreeSize Professional can be deinstalled using the Software applet in the Control Panel of Windows. The password needed for installing the registered version is printed on the disk label or included in our e-mail.


What's New?
What's new in V2.4?

Changes in V2.4:

•	Great improvement: TreeSize Pro is now able to scan folders under Windows NT4/2000 to which the current user doesn't have access to. You just have to be   logged in as Administrator or as normal user which has the right to perform backups. In previous version of TreeSize Pro you just got an "Access Denied" error message.

•	New Option in the Options dialog which lets you choose if TreeSize Pro should follow mount points and symbolic links (new features of Windows 2000)

•	TreeSize Pro now takes the file based compression of NTFS into account, when calculating the allocated space.

•	Compressed files and folders may now be shown in a blue color. If only some files in a folder are compressed, it will be shown in dark blue.

•	In a new column in the details view, the compression rate of NTFS-compressed folders and files is shown. This is a very unique feature!

•	The Option to see values in KB, MB or a mixed mode has been moved from the option dialog to the toolbar.

•	The charts can now also be saved to a JPG file. The chart now has a context menu that allows copying or saving the chart and showing the chart toolbar.

•	Added HTML export. You can either use File|Export|Save as HTML or the new command line option HTML. HTML reports are more easy to read than text reports and you don't need to have a special application like MS Excel installed. We also added the new command line options /HTML.

•	You can now open the software applet of the control panel easily from the toolbar of TreeSize Professional.

•	Additionally to showing folders in bold that are larger than a certain percentage of the scanned folder, you can now also enter a fix value in MB, over that all folders will be shown bold. And you can apply these settings for printed reports too.

•	AutoComplete feature for drive dropdown box similar to the Windows Explorer.

•	It is now possible to scan all visible disk shares of a domain or server by entering the domain/server name like \\HOSTNAME in the drive dropdown box or by selecting it in the 'Browse for Folder' dialog.

•	charts and details list can now be updated automatically during scanning every few seconds.

•	Files that are in use are now excluded from the file search results.

•	A new column shows the owner of a file or folder under Windows NT4/2000.

•	Errors occuring during scheduled scans are now added to the error log of Windows NT/2000.

•	It is now possible to scroll large bar charts using the mouse wheel. Pie charts can be rotated using the mouse wheel.

•	Replaced the /CHART command line option by /BARCHART and /PIECHART

•	Tsizepro.exe has been compressed with UPX.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q:	The wasted space shown by TreeSize is extremely high. How can I reduce the wasted space?

A:	Most likely you are using the FAT file system which usually produces a lot of wasted space due to its large cluster size. Please read the chapter "Wasted Space" to understand what wasted space is and to learn how to reduce it.

Q:	Why is the occupied space that Windows shows in the properties dialog of the drive larger than the allocated space that TreeSize reports.

A:	The Windows Explorer shows the space that is physically allocated on the drive while TreeSize shows the space that is occupied by all files under a certain path. Beyond the space that is needed for storing the files itself, additional space is used for storing management data like the File Allocation Table of the file system or the boot sector. This is usually 0.5-2% of the occupied space. Another possibility is that you are using Software RAID, like Windows NT/2000 offers it, which spreads the data with redundancy over several disks. These disks will appear as one logical volume and the failure of a single disk will not cause any data loss. But for storing the redundant information, additional space is needed. If a drive letter points to a subfolder of a network drive, the allocated space (correctly) reported by TreeSize may also be much smaller than the physically allocated space on this drive reported by the Windows Explorer. When using the FAT file system, lost clusters may occur

Q:	For some folders TreeSize shows last accessed/changed dates that are far in the future. Why?

A:	The last access/change date that TreeSize shows for a folder is the latest last access/change date of a file inside this folder and its subfolders. Most likely, somewhere in these folders are files with a last access/change date far in the future, and so the last change date of the whole folder has the same date. You can try to search for these files using the Windows file search. These files are often a result of Y2K test or of a client PC with a wrong system date.

Q: Why do all files on my disk have the same last access date which is not far in the past?

A:	Windows updates the last access date of a file each time when an application is accessing or reading a file. Many backup and virus tools access every file on your harddisk regularly without restoring the prior last access date.

Q:	Scanning a server disk via network is very slow. Is it possible to speed up this process?

A:	Scanning a drive via network is normally much slower than scanning a local disk, because the bandwidth to the network is much lower than to you harddisk. Additionally, server drives usually are much bigger and contain more files than local hard disks. But you can use the Command Line Options to perform your scans overnight.

Q: I would like to print an entire list of contents of my harddisk. Why does TreeSize Pro not support this?

A:	A normal Windows 2000 installation itself already has 6000 - 8000 files in the Windows directory. Just printing this directory would produce 90 - 130 pages and printing a whole drive would produce much more pages. Therefore TreeSize Pro only supports printing the contents of the currently selected folder. Additionally you can export a complete list of all files on the scanned drive or folder to the clipboard, which allows you further processing of the list like inserting it in a database or spreadsheet.

Q:	Can I scan network drives without connecting them to a drive letter?

A:	Yes, you can use UNC names like \\SERVERNAME\Sharename to access a network drive by entering them in the drive combo box of TreeSize Pro. You can also use UNC names on the command line.

Q:	I would like to save a set of drives and folders that TreeSize Pro scans each time I start it. How do I do that?

A:	You can simply create a shortcut to Tsizepro.exe on your desktop or start menu and add those drives and folders to the command line, separated with a space character. See chapter Command Line Options for more detailed information.

Q:	Why does TreeSize Professional not include a duplicate file search?

A:	We made several tests with existing duplicate file search tools. The amount of disk space that could be recovered was always negligible, because only very few files were "true" duplicate (obsolete) files. But the amount of time that was needed to go through the list of duplicate files was huge. So we decided not to include a duplicate file search.

Q:	When scanning a volume that contains Mac files on an NT Server, I get strange error messages. Why?

A:	The Macintosh char set contains characters that are not part of the normal Windows char set and therefore cannot be handled or displayed by a normal Windows application when used in a file or folder name. The Windows API replaces these characters with question marks. Additionally MacOS has different naming conventions than Windows, you may for example use a colon in the file name. This is forbidden under Windows and such files or folders cannot be accessed by Windows applicatons.

Q:	Why do error messages appear when I am scanning a directory tree that contains Mac file?

A:	Under MacOS file and folder names may contain characters that are invalid under Windows (e.g. /, |, <, >, ?) or that are not part of the normal Windows character set. Normal Windows applications cannot access these files or folders, in this case TreeSize uses the 8+3 DOS name of the folder. The error messages that are shown can be turned off in the Options dialog of TreeSize Pro.


Tips & Annotations
Tips & Annotions

•	The last access date is the day when a file was used the last time, for example when a program was executed, a DLL was loaded or a bitmap was shown the last time. So if a file has not been accessed for a long time, it may probably not needed on your system. This is great to remove unused files from your Windows and System directory.

•	With a user defined cluster size, you can look how the values for occupied and wasted space would look like with a different cluster size on your harddisk. A rescan of the current folder(s) is necessary when you change the user defined cluster size.

•	You can use the CD-ROM cluster size to determine, how much space a directory tree would occupy on a CD-ROM. Please keep in mind that some space on a CD-R will be needed for the directory information.

•	The 'filter' and 'user defined cluster size' settings are not saved to the registry in order to avoid wrong values when using TreeSize Professional the next time

•	In the Recycled Folders you will not see the same file names like in the Explorer. This is necessary to get the size and the last access date of these files.

•	Select 'Full Expand' from the context menu of a folder or drive before printing a report in order to get a report for the entire file system tree.

•	You can scan all shares in a domain by entering the domain name in the drive combo box of TreeSize Pro.

•	Use the 'File Search' to find large or obsolete files on your hard drives.


Options
Options Dialog

This dialog box allows you to change the view and scan options of TreeSize Professional. On the View tab, you can specify the following options:

Different Colors For Compressed Files and Folders     If this option is turned on, compressed files on an NTFS volume are shown in a blue color. Folders that are partially compressed will have a dark blue color, files and folders that are entirely compressed will show up in a light blue color. For more information on file based compression, see Notes on NTFS.

Show Files	When this option is selected, TreeSize will display the files in a folder summarized in one object in tree. Also all files of a folder will appear in the Details View.

Show Chart toolbar	Use this option to display an additional toolbar for the Charts.

Automatically Update Right Pane During Scanning     If this option is turned on, TreeSize Pro will update the right pane of the window from time to time. This allows you for example to watch the bars of a chart growing while scanning large drives.

Decimals	Choose the number of decimals that should be used when TreeSize displays or prints values.

Bold Factor	If the size of folder is greater than this percentage of the complete size of the scanned folder, the folders label will be displayed bold. This allows you to find quickly the largest folders. If you don't want bold folder labels, choose 100%. You can apply these settings also for printed reports by using the checkbox below.

The Scan tab holds the following scan options:

Show Error Messages   Here you can decide if TreeSize Professional should show error messages during scanning. If you for example scan a network drive on a Windows NT server and don't have read access to all folders, Windows will pop up an error message for every unreadable folder. If you don't want the scanning process interrupted by these message boxes, deselect this checkbox.

Follow Mount Points and Symbolic Links     This option is relevant only for NTFS drives. You can decide if TreeSize should follow symbolic links and mount points (see Notes on NTFS for additional information).

Changing the following options will make a rescan necessary. These options will not be saved when you exit TreeSize Professional in order to avoid wrong results when using TreeSize the next time.

Filter(s)	If you want to have information about certain file types only, you can specify a filter here. You can use multiple filters separated with blanks. So If you for example want to see how much space  your executable files and their libraries occupy, use the filter "*.exe *.dll" here. If you want to include all files use "*".

User Defined Cluster Size   Use this option to look, how the values for allocated and wasted space would look like with a different cluster size or filesystem.

The Columns tab allows you to specify, which columns should visible in the details view on the right pane of the window.


Wasted Space

The wasted space is the amount of space in clusters on you harddisk, that are not entirely filled. Keep the following formula in mind: size + wasted space = allocated space. Windows 95 with its file system FAT may have very large cluster sizes, dependent on the partition size:

FAT	FAT32

Partition Size      	Cluster Size	Partition Size	Cluster Size

128 - 256 MB  	4 KB	1 - 8 GB	4 KB

257 - 512 MB   	8 KB	8 - 16 GB	8 KB

513 - 1024 MB  	16 KB	16 - 32 GB	16 KB

1025 - 2048 MB 	32 KB	>32 GB	32 KB

Partitions larger than 2GB are not possible with FAT. If you for example have a single partition on a 1.2GB harddisk, you have a cluster size of 32KB on it. If you store 10 files of 1 KB on this partition, this would use 10*32KB=320KB of your precious harddisk space, and 320KB-10KB=310KB would be wasted. Especially a huge number of small files significantly increase the amount of wasted space on FAT partitions.

To reduce the wasted space, there are the following possibilities:

•	Make smaller partitions. Don't make partitions larger than 1024MB using FAT, because partitions larger than 1024MB will have a cluster size of 32KB and a lot of wasted space. People reported wasted space up to 25% on 2GB partitions. Of course smaller partitions will increase the number of drive letters.

•	Use FAT32 instead of FAT to format your partitions, because it operates with smaller clusters. FAT32 is  incompatible to the old FAT file system, so be careful using old disk repair utilities on it. You cannot access FAT32 partitions with Windows NT4.

•	Windows NT/2000 provides the possibility to format your harddisk with the NTFS file system. It usually operates with 512 byte clusters and has the best storage efficiency of all Windows file systems. NTFS partitions cannot be accessed from Windows 9x or DOS without use of 3rd party software. In addition, NTFS can compress selected directory branches. The compression is invisible for applications and you don't need a new drive letter like with the DriveSpace software.


Printing

TreeSize Professional has flexible printing functions:

You can print a detailed report by selecting 'Print Report...' from the File menu or by pressing the print button in the toolbar. The report will show the directory structure of the current folder, including directory lines, size, allocated space, wasted space, percent of parent, the last access and change date and the number of objects in this folder. Only those folders will be printed in the report, which are visible in the TreeSize Professional window. This way you can choose the folders that will be included in the printed report. To get a complete report that includes all folders and subfolders, select 'Full Expand' from the context menu of the topmost folder.

If the 'Details View' is active in the right pane of the TreeSize Professional window, you can print the contents of the folder which is currently selected by using 'Print Folder Contents...' from the 'File' menu. You will see all files and subfolders in the printout, including the corresponding icons, the size, allocated and wasted space and the number of objects. If you want a listing of all files in the scanned folder or drive, you can copy a list of all files to the clipboard and paste it into your favorite spreadsheet or word processor by selecting 'Export List of Files' from the 'File' menu. If the 'Chart View' is active in the right pane of the TreeSize Professional window, you can print the current chart by selecting 'Print Chart' from the 'File' menu.

You can use the Page Setup Dialog to adjust the margins for printing. Use the Print Setup Dialog to choose a printer. Both dialogs can be accessed from the 'File' menu.


Charts

TreeSize Professional can visualize folder sizes as pie or bar charts. A chart always shows the size of the subfolders of the currently selected folder. A pie chart shows the size, allocated space, wasted space etc. dependant on what kind of view type the user selected in the toolbar. The bar chart shows the size, allocated and wasted space together in one chart, because:  size + wasted space = allocated space. If a bar chart doesn't fit in the window, a scrollbar is displayed on the right side, which allows scrolling in the chart.

In the pie chart, small folders may be summarized in a slice named 'Other'. If a root of a drive is displayed in a pie chart and you have switched to the 'Allocated Space' mode, the free space of this drive will also be displayed as one slice of the pie.

Clicking on a slice or bar shows detailed information about the corresponding folder, double clicking will move into the selected folder. Checking 'Chart Toolbar' in the Options dialog will display an additional chart toolbar, which allows you to manipulate the charts in several ways, for example zooming, turning on or off the grid lines, switching between 2D and 3D mode, change colors, etc. Using this toolbar, you can also copy the chart to the clipboard or save it as a bitmap file.

Choose 'Print Chart' from the 'File' menu to print a chart. A chart will be printed exactly as you see it on the screen.


File Searching
File Search

The 'File Search' window allows you to search for big, old and temporary files. You will find the  following tabs on the top of the window:

Biggest Files	This page allows to search for the biggest files on your harddisk. You can specify a minimum size in kilobytes or megabytes. All files, which are larger than this value, will be shown in the list.

Oldest Files	This page allows you to search for files, that have not been changed or accessed since a certain date. You can limit the search to entire folders, in this case only folders will be listed in which all files match the search criteria. This allows you to identify branches of the file system that are not in use any more.

Temporary Files  This page allows you to search for temporary files. You can specify several patterns (e.g. 'temp' or '.bak'). All files which contain these patterns will be listed in this list.

Internet Files	This page allows you to search for temporary internet files, like the files in the cache of the browsers Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. On FAT drives, these files produce a lot of wasted space, because most of them are very small. The search for temporary internet files can be automated with the command line option /SEARCH:Internet.

Options	Here you can choose which drives and which of the above search types will be included in the search. You can add additional paths or UNC paths to the list by pressing the button below the list. All checked drives will be included in the search.

Please note: For security reason, the file search of TreeSize Professional will not list files that have changed in the last 24 hours, because they may be in use by another application. The buttons on the right side:

Start	This button will start the search. You can now either close the window or you can look at the partial search results by selecting one of the tabs. You will hear a beep when the search is finished.

Stop	Allows you to stop the search.

Hide Window	This button will close the search window, but the search will continue. So you can look at the results later. You will see an animation below this button, as long as the file search is running.

Save Results	This button allows you to save the search result of the currently active search type in a tab separated test file.

Move Checked	This button allows you to move all files in the lists, which are checked left of their file name, to the recycle bin or to a position in the file system that you can specify. If you choose a file system location, all files will be moved there under preservation of the file system structure. You can then easily archive them in a ZIP file or write them to a CD-R. You can easily check a group of files by keeping pressed the space bar or by selecting multiple files with the Shift or Ctrl key and then use the context menu.


Command Line Options

TreeSize Professional accepts command line options which allow you to do scheduled scans or to have the results of a scan on your monitor the next morning.

 tsizepro.exe [/SEARCH[:Start|:Internet]] [/DATE] [/SAVE filename] [/EXCEL filename] [/HTML filename] [/(BAR|PIE)CHART filename] [/PRINT] [/EXPAND [level|xxMB]] /NOGUI  directorie(s)

/SAVE 	Saves the results to a text file after scanning is finished. TreeSize Professional will terminate itself after saving. Example:

tsizepro /SAVE C:\Results\c.txt C:\

/EXCEL	Exports the collected data to Excel and saves it under the given file name. If the file name already exists, the file will be opened and a new sheet will be added. TreeSize Professional will terminate itself after saving. Example:

tsizepro /EXCEL C:\Documents\c.xls C:\

/HTML	Saves the collected data to a HTML file, which can be viewed with any HTML-browser later.  If you also have a /PIECHART or /BARCHART parameter in your command line, the image will be included in the HTML file. The following example will generate an HTML report for the drives C: and E: and saves it to D:\html:

tsizepro /DATE /HTML d:\html\treesize.html /PIECHART d:\html\treesize.jpg C:\ E:\

/BARCHART  Saves the bar chart of the scanned directory to a bitmap or JPEG file, the file type depends on the extension of the specified file name. This example creates a JPEG images of the bar chart for drive C:

tsizepro /BARCHART C:\Documents\c.jpg C:\

/PIECHART  Saves the pie chart of the scanned directory to a bitmap or JPEG file. The following example will scan the drives C:\ and D:\ and produce a chart for each one:

tsizepro /PIECHART C:\Temp\c.jpg C:\ /PIECHART C:\Temp\d.jpg D:\

/DATE	This switch will add the current date to all file names occurring after it on the command line. This is useful if you want to do scans regularly every night or every weekend. If you want the date included in all filenames, then this should be your first command line option. The following example will scan the network path \\host\share and save the result to a file like C:\scans\name_99-12-20_1550.xls:

tsizepro /DATE /EXCEL C:\scans\name.xls \\host\share

/PRINT	Prints a report for the scanned folder to the default printer. TreeSize Professional will be terminated after printing. Usage example:

tsizepro /PRINT C:\ D:\

/EXPAND	This option lets you specify, how many levels in the directory tree will be expanded after scanning. If you don't specify a number, all folders will be expanded. Instead of a directory level you can also indicate an amount in MB. In this case all folders larger then the given amount will be expanded. The unit 'MB' must follow the number without a blank. The following example will scan the folder H:\user, expand all folders larger than 10MB and save the result to the Excel file C:\Results\Allusers.xls:

tsizepro /EXCEL C:\Results\Allusers.xls /EXPAND 10MB H:\user

/NOGUI	No window will be shown and the application will not appear in the task bar. Useful for background scans. Caution: Use this switch only if you have tested the rest of the command line options, because TreeSize Professional cannot display error messages in this mode.

/SEARCH 	Opens the search window of TreeSize Professional. If ':Start' is added to this command line option, the search is started immediately with the settings used the last time. If TreeSize finds ':Internet' added to this command line option, it will start searching for temporary internet files and delete them. The drives activated during the last regular scan will be scanned, a special set of drives and paths can be specified on the command line (separated with blanks). Usage example:

tsizepro /SEARCH:Internet

If you are using Windows 98, Windows 2000 or Windows NT4 with Internet Explorer 5 installed, you can use the 'Scheduled Tasks' folder to run TreeSize Professional daily at a certain time. Just add a new daily task and choose TreeSize Professional as program to execute. Before finishing, choose to change additional properties of this task and add the command line options you want after tsizepro.exe.

If you are using Windows NT 4 or later, you can also use the at command to perform scheduled scans. If you for example want to scan the drives C: and E: next night at 03:00 a.m. and save the results to an Excel file, you must enter the following on the NT command line:

at 03:00 "C:\Program Files\JAM Software\TreeSize Professional 2.3\tsizepro.exe" /EXCEL c:\temp\tsp.xls /EXPAND 2 c:\ e:\

If you want to see the results of the file search on your screen when you come in your office in the morning, you should enter something like:

at 06:00 /INTERACTIVE "C:\Program Files\JAM Software\TreeSize Professional 2.3\tsizepro.exe" /SEARCH:Start

Read more about the at command in the Windows NT help. Error messages occurring during scheduled scans are listed in the Event Log of Windows NT/2000.


Notes on NTFS

The file system NTFS, which can be used with the operating system Windows NT and 2000, offers some special features which also have consequences for TreeSize Professional. In the following we will describe some of these features and their impacts on TreeSize.

Access Control Lists

A user under Windows NT/2000 can restrict the way other users can access his files and folders, he can grant or deny other users or groups certain rights like reading, writing, executing or deleting files. That way a user can even deny the Administrator to access his files and folders. If an Administrator tries to access a folder in the Explorer, to which the owner denied any other users read access, an "Access Denied" error message will be displayed. However, since V2.4 TreeSize Professional is able to scan such folders, if you are logged in as Administrator or as a user that has the right to perform backups (This option can be changed at Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Local Security Policy under Windows 2000 and with the user editor of Windows NT).

File Based Compression

NTFS supports compression on an individual file basis. Files that are compressed on an NTFS volume can be read and written without first being decompressed by another program. Decompression happens automatically during the read of the file. The file is compressed again when it is closed or explicitly saved.

The space occupied by a compressed file is usually much smaller than its normal size. As a consequence, for folders that are partially or completely compressed, the allocated space reported by TreeSize may be smaller than the size reported for this folder. TreeSize Pro is able to show the compression ratio in an extra column in the details view. Additionally it can show compressed files and folders in a different color, this feature can be turned on in the Options dialog.

The NTFS version that comes with Windows 2000 supports an additional concept, that is similar to compressed files: sparse files. Files which are large but only partially used are called sparse files. Because the operating system does not allocate disk space for the unused parts of a sparse file, it occupies less disk space than its actual size is. TreeSize treats sparse files like compressed files and also calculates the compression ratio for them.

Reparse Points: Volume Mount Points and Symbolic Links

Since Windows 2000 NTFS supports volume mount points and symbolic links. A volume mount point is an existing path where you "mount" another volume. Given this, users and applications can refer to the mounted volume by that path. It allows you to unify into one logical file system disparate file systems. symbolic links work similar: If you for example have an empty folder C:\Documents\Images, you can create a symbolic link to E:\Pics in it. Applications will then see the content of E:\Pics in C:\Documents\Images.

If you have the Option "Follow Mount Points and Symbolic Links" turned on, TreeSize will include the contents of these folders when scanning. Since they are not physically stored on the drive you are scanning, this may produce irritating results.

A final note: If you are scanning an NTFS volume via network, TreeSize Professional is only able to handle file based compression and reparse points correct, if you are scanning on a Windows NT/2000 client. The API of Windows 9x cannot handle these features, so reparse points and compressed files will appear as normal folders and files.

File Menu

The File Menu allows you to select folders for scanning, remove folders from the TreeSize Window and to export or print the collected data.

Select Directory	Shows a dialog which lets you choose a folder for scanning. You can also enter a local or network path directly into the drive combo box in the toolbar.

File Search	Shows the file search window.

Branch	Shows a submenu which is exactly the same as the context menu of the root folder.

Update All	Rescans all folders which are currently listed in the TreeSize Professional window. You can update an individual folder through the context menu of this folder.

Copy scanned data  Copies the collected data to the clipboard. Only the data of those folders will be copied, which are currently visible (expanded) in the TreeSize window. Select 'Full Expand' from the context menu to copy all results.

Save Data As	Save the collected data to a tab separated text file. Only the data of those folders will be saved, which are currently visible (expanded) in the TreeSize window.

Export Data to Excel  Exports the collected data to MS Excel. Only the data of those folders will be saved, which are currently visible (expanded) in the TreeSize window.

Save as HTML	Allows you to save a report as HTML file, which can be viewed with any HTML browser later. HTML files are more easy to read than text files and don't require a special application like MS Excel. Only the data of those folders will be saved, which are currently visible (expanded) in the TreeSize window.

Copy List of Files	Copies a list of all files in the current folder (and its subfolders) to the clipboard. You can paste this list to your favorite spreadsheet or word processor.

Split Name and Path  Use this option to select, if path and filename should be exported in individual columns or together in one column.

Include Header	Toggles the header in the exported files on or off. If you want to process the exported data with other applications, it may be useful to turn the header off.

Set Title	Allows you to set a title for the currently active branch, which will be used when the folder data is printed or exported. The default title includes the path of the scanned folder and the volume name of the drive where the folder resides on.

Page Setup	Shows the Page setup dialog where you can specify the margins for printing, paper size etc.

Print Report	Prints a detailed report of the current folder. See Printing.

Print Chart 	Prints the currently visible Chart.

Print Folder Contents Prints a list of all objects in current folder, including the icons, size, date, etc.

Printer Setup             Shows the print setup dialog.

You can find a list of the recently scanned folders at the bottom of the file menu.


View Menu

You can choose different types of values for displaying in the tree on the left side:

Size	In this mode the size of the files in a folder including all subfolders will be shown.

Allocated Space	This will show the amount of space that is allocated on disk for this folder, again including all subfolders.

Percent	Shows how many percent of the parent folder's size each folder occupies.

Wasted Space	Shows the amount of space that is wasted by the filesystem for the storage of all files in this folder, including all subfolders.

CD-ROM Cluster Size   This mode will show how much space a folder would occupy on a CD-ROM.

Use the next menu items to switch between different view modes for the right pane of the TreeSize Professional window:

Bar Chart	Shows a bar chart on the right side of the window. Each bar shows the size and the wasted space for each folder, which together is the space allocated for this folder.

Pie Chart	Shows a pie chart on the right side of the window. The values displayed in the pie chart depend on the currently selected view mode (Size, Allocated Space, Wasted Space etc.)

Detailed List	Shows a list with all objects in the current folder. For each object, you can see the size, the allocated and wasted space, the number of files, the last access and change date and the percent of the parent folder in.

You can change the way TreeSize displays the sizes using these menu items or the corresponding toolbar buttons. The number of decimals can be changed in the Options dialog.

Values as KB	All size values will be shown in KB.

Values as MB	All size values will be shown in MB.

Mixed Mode	Small values will be shown in KB, large values will be shown in MB.

Some further commands in the View menu:

Add/Remove Software    Opens the 'Add/Remove Software' applet of the control panel.

File Search	Shows the 'File Search' Window, which allows to search for old, big files and temporary files.

Options	Shows the Options dialog.


Sort Menu
Sorting

Sort by size	The largest folders will be displayed first.

Sort by name	The folders will be sorted alphabetically.

No Sort	No Sorting is done. This can be useful when scanning large folders or network drives, because folders don't permanently change their position.


The Context Menus
Context Menu

When you right click on a folder or file, TreeSize will display the explorer context menu. Additionally you will find the following menu items in the TreeSize submenu

Full Expand	Expands the selected folder and recursively all its subfolders

Full Collapse	Collapses the selected folder and recursively hides the subfolders

Update Branch	Updates only this part of the tree, which is usually faster than updating the whole directory.

The topmost item of each scanned folder has a different context menu, which looks like this:

To Level x	Selecting this menu item will show the first x levels of the current folder.

Expand Folder over	This menu item allows you to expand only those folders in the tree, which are larger than a certain size.

Remove Folder <xxxMB	Selecting this menu item will remove all folders which are smaller than a certain size from the directory tree.

Set Size	Allows you to specify the folder size for the above two operations.

Remove from TreeSize	Remove this folder from the TreeSize Professional window.

Update	Rescan this folder and update the information.

Count Folders	Shows you the number of folders in the current folder.

Choose this option if compresed files and folders on NTFS volumes should appear in a blue color. Folders, that are only partially compressed, will appear in dark blue.


Show Files
When this option is selected, TreeSize will display the files of a folder summarized in one object in tree. Also all files of a folder will appear in the list on the right side of the window.


Chart toolbar
Activate an additional toolbar for the charts.


Decimals
Number of decimals which will be used for displaying or printing values.


Bold Factor
If the size of folder is larger than the given percentage of the complete size of the scanned folder, or is larger than the given size in Megabytes, the label will be displayed bold. If you dont want bold folder labels, specify 100%.


In the file menu and in the drive combo box, you find a list of the recently scanned folders and drives. Here you can adjust the maximum number of entries in this list.


If this option is turned on, TreeSize Pro will update the right pane of the window from time to time.


Turn this option on to apply the settings for bold folder names for printed reports.


If you want to have information about certain file types only, you can specify a filter here. You can use multiple filters separated with blanks. So If you for example want to see how much space  your executable files and their libraries occupy, use the filter "*.exe *.dll" here. If you want to include all files use "*".


Use this option to look, what the values for allocated and wasted space would look like with a different cluster size or file system.


When when this option is turned on, TreeSize Professional shows error messages during scanning (e.g. unaccessable folders)


Choose if mount points and symbolic links should be followed or not. Mount points and symbolic links have been introduced in Windows 2000, they can be used to link drives or folders into other file systems. Since these are not really part of the file system they have been linked in, they may lead to wrong results for the size of a folder or drive. See help file for additional information.


Columns
Here you can select which columns will be visible in the list on the right side of the TreeSize Pro window.
