Die Funktion "Auf Update Prüfen" lässt sich auf 2 Arten deaktivieren:

TreeSize mit speziellem Kommandozeilen-Aufruf ausführen

Durch den folgenden Kommandozeilen-Aufruf der Treesize.exe wird die Funktion deaktiviert:

TreeSize.exe /NOGUI /ShowCheckForUpdate False /SAVESETTINGS


Anpassen der Konfigurations-Datei ("GlobalOptions.xml")

Dazu müssen Sie die XML-formatierte Konfigurations-Datei von TreeSize editieren. Diese Datei liegt Standardmäßig in folgendem Pfad: "%APPDATA%\JAM Software\TreeSize"

Bevor Sie die Datei editieren versichern Sie sich bitte, dass TreeSize auf Ihrer Maschine nicht ausgeführt wird.

Bitte öffnen Sie die Datei "GlobalOptions.xml" mit einem Texteditor (z.B. Notepad) und suchen Sie darin nach folgendem Eintrag:<ShowCheckForUpdate>True</ShowCheckForUpdate>

Bitte ändern Sie hier "True" in "False" und speichern Sie die Änderung.

The "Check for Update" button in the "Help" menu can be hidden in two ways:

Running TreeSize with special command line options

If you execute this command line after the installation, the "Check for Update" button will be no longer available:

TreeSize.exe /NOGUI /ShowCheckForUpdate False /SAVESETTINGS

Please add the full path to TreeSize.exe, e.g.
"%ProgramFiles%\Jam Software\TreeSize Professional\TreeSize.exe"

Please note: Use the following command line call to deactivate the automatic check for update:

TreeSize.exe /NOGUI /CheckForUpdateOptions\CheckForUpdatesAutomatically False /SAVESETTINGS

Deploying a configuration file

First you need to edit the XML-based configuration file of TreeSize. The configuration file is located at the following path by default:

%APPDATA%\JAM Software\TreeSize Professional

(Please note that %APPDATA% is an environment variable that will be resolved automatically by Windows if it is entered in the address bar of the Windows Explorer.) 

Before proceeding, please ensure TreeSize is closed.

In the folder above, you will find a file called "GlobalOptions.XML" Please open the file with a suitable text editor (Notepad, Notepad++,...) and search for the following line: <ShowCheckForUpdate>True</ShowCheckForUpdate>

Please set the value "True" to "False". If you start TreeSize again, you will notice that the "Check for Update" button is no longer available.

Please note: In order to deactivate the automatic check for update in the configuration file change the following value from "True" to "False"
<CheckForUpdatesAutomatically>True</CheckForUpdatesAutomatically>

There is no TreeSize App for Android. But you can scan your mobile device using the TreeSize Windows desktop app, if your mobile device is connected to your PC via USB and is unlocked. For more details on this subject please visit our web page.

As an iOS protects its internal file system from running apps, an application like TreeSize wouldn't be possible for iPhones. You may use "Settings > General > iPhone Storage" the get a rough estimate what takes up the space on your iPhone.

There is a small  blue progress bar left of the root node which disappears when the scan is finished. Also the scan progress is shown in the status bar on the bottom of the window. During a scan the small hourglass on top of the folders indicate that the folder is not fully scanned.

Typically our products use the same ports and protocols as Windows Explorer. Port 445 is needed for SMB/CIFS communication. Ports 137-139 are needed for NetBios/Name resolution only . Without it you will have to access machines by IP address opposed to NetBIOS name. Example \\192.168.1.100\share_name opposed to \\my_file_server\share_name. So port 445 is sufficient if you can work with IP addresses only.

In our customer area you can download the full version of your registered software, get the installation password, update your personal data or purchase updates to the next major version for a reduced price.

The reason for this is usually that the task is running under a different user account than the TreeSize user interface and so finds other settings in the user profile. One possibility would be that either is running as Administrator while the other is not. 

You can ensure that the task uses the same settings for all users by exporting your current options from the UI via "Home > Options > Export" and using that file for your task as well. You can then use the TreeSize task scheduler dialog to modify an existing task and select "Use saved options" in combination with your exported options file.You can also manually modify the task via the Windows Task Scheduler and append the command line argument /OPTIONS <pathToOptionsFile>.

You can do this using the TreeSize File Search. One of the matching options there is "Permissions".

Our disk space manager for enterprise environments, SpaceObServer, has the ability to collect the permissions of a volume in its database and to apply filters on this data. This is much faster and more convenient.

TreeSize Professional requires version 4.7.2 of the .NET Framework to work properly. Please make sure that the current .NET version is installed. During its installation TreeSize Professional checks the available .NET version. If necessary, TreeSize will update the framework automatically.

TreeSize requires a few libraries (DLLs), like "Jam.Interop.dll" or "ChartAssembly.dll", in addition to its .EXE file to work properly. Please reinstall TreeSize, this will make sure that the two files are copied to the correct directory.
