Size changes on file level

Question / Problem

When doing a comparison, can I check which file(s) became larger and caused the allocated folder space of the parent folder to increase?

Answer / Solution

When using the new sqlite-based index file format, this is possible. Simple export such an index file, and use it for comparison at a lter time. 

We also offer another disk space manager called SpaceObServer which is made for continuous reporting and saves its information on file level, so it can be used to observe the size growth of individual files. It stores its analyzed data in an SQL database.

SpaceObServer uses less RAM than TreeSize and the reporting is faster and more flexible. It also offers advanced scripting capabilities through OLE Automation. If you are interested, please visit: https://www.jam-software.com/spaceobserver/.
