Can Treesize Professional search by groups of machines? I want to be able to search multiple unc paths without adding every one of them individually.

You can search all shares of a remote machine by entering the unc path of the machine only, e.g \\machinename. You can search all shares of all members of a domain by entering the UNC path of the domain, e.g. \\domainnane.

Is it possible to export a full list of the files on a disk, including owner?

There are 3 options to achieve this:

For the export in question, enable the option "Tools > Options > Export > [Export Type] > Exported Elements > Include single files in export" and perform the export using "File > Export".
You may use our free command line tool "FileList: https://www.jam-software.com/filelist/
You may use the TreeSize File Search and perform a custom search that matches all files by using the pattern "*". Using "File > Export" you can export the result list in various formats.
You scan the path with the TreeSize main module and then chose "File > Export > Copy list of files".

I have a command-line scheduled task running a custom search for several department drives. When manually running I can choose what columns to export to the .CSV file. However, in the command-line, I don 't see a way to do this. Currently, my search options are being read from the saved .XML file settings.

By default TreeSize will use the columns that have been set under "Tools > Options > Export" when it was used the last time. To force the columns on the command line, export your current options through "Tools > Options > Export" to a file and supply this config file on the command line using the command line option /OPTIONS .

On our file systems we have archive file stubs which take up 8k. Is there a way of scanning files for size on disk? I am currently showing 800GB on a 300GB file system, as it sees the entire file size.

Please switch to "View > Allocated Space" and see if this helps. If not, the system does not report the size correctly.

I tried to make an excel-report for a file-server drive and got the message that the excel sheet couldn't handle more than 65535 lines and hence the report failed. Is there anything I can do to make TreeSizer handle more rows?

You have to switch to the Excel 2007+ format by using the .XLSX file extensions.

Can I customize the "Age of files" view to be more granular?

You can adjust the intervals used for the "age of files" statistics under: Tools > Options > Age of Files

By right-clicking on a bar you can show a list of all files that belong to this interval.

The custom search of the TreeSize File Search, which can be opened through the Windows Start or the TreeSize Tools menu, is also very suitable to get a list of files accessed or not accessed in a certain time range.

Can I install the new version over an existing version or do I need to uninstall first?

Our software products are designed to be installed over an existing version. There should be no more than one major version between the old and the new version.
