Version 2.41
TreeSize Professional is a powerful and flexible harddisk space manager for
Windows 98/ME/NT/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.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please report errors and problems to the e-mail address below. Here's a list
of known bugs and problems:
* TreeSize Pro requires V4.70 or higher of COMCTL32.DLL. This version is
available from Microsoft since October 1996 and is required by nearly every
modern software. Since it is installed on nearly all PCs meanwhile,
we decided not to include it with TreeSize Professional any more, because
this reduces the download size by 430kb. For the rare case that you receive
an error message concerning COMCTL32.DLL or the images on the toolbar are
missing, please download Microsoft's update of COMCTL32.DLL (430kb) from:
http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/ie401/patch/comcontrol/en/401comupd.exe

CHANGES
~~~~~~~
Version 2.41: Released on 03 Sep 2001
* A problem with export to Excel XP has been fixed
* New program icon
* Some minor issued have been fixed
Version 2.4: Released 20 May 2001
* 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.
* 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.
* AutoComplete feature for drive dropdown box similar to the Windows Explorer.
* charts and details list can now be updated automatically during scanning
every few seconds.
* 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.
* Files that are in use are now excluded from the file search results.
* 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.
Version 2.31 : Released on 22 Mar 2000
* Under Windows 2000 TreeSize Professional sometimes followed the links in the
personal nethood folder and started scanning all available shares in the
network. This problem is now fixed.
* Under Windows 2000 the previous versions scanned mounted volumes (new feature
of NTFS5) as normal folder, which produced wrong results.
* The problem that TreeSize Pro tried to scan the FTP connections of WS FTP Pro
is now fixed too.
* To fix the above problems, we have completely rewritten the scan routine.
As a result, scanning is now about 20% faster and needs about 70% less memory.
* A problem with corrupt toolbar images under Windows 98 with certain video
drivers has been fixed.
* When a chart was printed, the summary values of the root folder were printed
in the header instead of the values of the selected folder.
Version 2.3: Released on 24 Feb 2000
* It's now easier to check several files in the search window by selecting
mutliple files with the Shift or Ctrl key and then using the context menu.
* You can now chose to move the checked files in the file search window to the
recycle bin, to delete them from harddisk or to move them to a given folder.
This allows you to easily archive or zip these files. The directory
structure is preserved when moving!
* You can tell the Oldest file search to return only folders in which *all*
files have not been accessed/changed since a certain date. This allows you
to identify larger unused parts of a file system than only individual files.
* New charting engine: a better look and a smaller download size (an
additional DLL is not required any more)
* The free space on a drive is included in the pie chart if a drive is
selected on the left pane and the "Allocated Space" mode is active.
* New command line option: /CHART saves the current chart.
* New command line option: /NOGUI hides the TreeSize Pro window when scanning
the background.
* New command line option: /SEARCH:Internet will search for temporary internet
files, delete all found files and terminate the application.
* New command line feature: /EXPAND xxMB will expand all branches larger than
xx MB
* The File Search is faster with large results.
* A minor problem under Windows 2000 has been fixed.
* A problem with column reordering in the Details view has been fixed.
Version 2.2: Released on April 24 1999
* The search for temporary internet files now works better with IE3
* /PRINT option did not work correctly with mutiple drives on command line
* Information about drive is now included in saved Excel and Text reports.
* A bug fixed which caused a small difference between displayed allocated space
and the really allocated space. The results are more accurate now.
* Deleting files or folders did sometimes delete the folder on disk, but not
in the TreeSize Pro window. This is fixed now
* Some icons were not correct
* Some minor bug fixes and improvements
Version 2.1: Released on August 30 1998
* Added search for temporary internet files
* Improved searching for temporary files
* The free space of the drives in the search options is now displayed
* The command line option /Search:Start starts a file search
* The toolbar now has a 'Stop scanning' button and 'Remove folder' button
* You can now enter a path directly into the drive combo box
* The combo box also lists the recently scanned folders
* You can adjust the length of the list of recently scanned folders/drives
in the options dialog
* When using the /SAVE command line option, TreeSize Professional was not
terminated after saving. This is corrected now.
* If you use a command line option, which automatically saves the scanned data,
the date can be added to the specified file name.
* Problem fixed: Changing the sort option always switched the view to details
mode
* Problem fixed: Changing the view type (size, allocated, wasted, ...), when no
folder was in the left pane caused an error.
* Some minor improvements and bug fixes
