Limit path depth for XML exports

Question / Problem

When creating an XML export, the file is relatively big because of the big amount of data on our disk. Is it possible to limit the export path depth, similar to how it can be done when exporting an Excel file?

Answer / Solution

The XML export's purpose is to be used to save a complete scan and to be able to load it later on, as well as using it for comparisons.

If you are only interested in the top level or a low depth, please consider using the Excel or CSV export instead.

It is also possible to reduce the size of the XML file by disabling the statistics for age of files, file owners and extensions in the scan settings.
