Search for file types

Question / Problem

Is it possible to search for file extensions of file types with TreeSize?

Answer / Solution

You can apply a filter for a scan in the Options by adding patterns such as *.bmp as include filter. A second possibility is to enable the "Create Statistics on File Extensions" feature in the Options. This will provide a detailed statistics for the file types in each sub-tree on the "Extensions" tab and you will be able to limit the values in the directory tree to one file type. A third possibility is to use the Custom File Search of the File Search Module of TreeSize. Our product SpaceObServer has extended and more flexible reporting features if needed.
