[edit] Functionality

The common main functionality of all editions is to determine and to display folder sizes within a file system branch or on a drive. Report types like tables or charts (pie chart, bar chart or tree maps) are available for visualizing complete directories. The collected data can be exported to plain text, HTML, XML, or MS Excel formats.

[edit] History

The first version of TreeSize was programmed by Joachim Marder in 1996. It was designed right from start to be a GUI-orientated du for MS Windows. The software tried to overcome the drawbacks of both, the du command and Windows Explorer's right click. One year later, the newly founded German company JAM Software published TreeSize in a freeware and two shareware versions. It is subject to continuous improvement since 1997.

[edit] Versions

TreeSize Free is available free of charge and provides a basic functionality for exact determination of file sizes and reporting as well as a Windows Explorer integration. The Professional and Personal Editions of TreeSize (shareware versions) offer extended search functionality and a md5 checksum comparison to find files, that exist twice or more in the file system. The Personal Edition offers all but a few functions of TreeSize Professional: the Personal Edition will not run on Windows Server, it doesn’t support network drives, it can’t be controlled by the command line interface and it provides less export options.
