By default, the exports done through „File > Export“ contain only folders and subfolders. To include files as well, please use the "Customize" button in the "Save" dialog and select "Folders and single files" under "Exported Elements". You can also set the "Export Depth" to "Full directory tree" if applicable. 

These options can also be found under: "Tools > Options > Export".

Using "File > Export > Copy list of files", you can easily copy a list of files to the clipboard. This function is also included in the context menu of the TreeSize directory tree.

They are used equally to the Windows FILETIME structure, follow the link for details.

Yes, that is possible. The TreeSize file search has a predefined template that lists all folders that do not contain any subfolders or files.

You can select this template on the left side of the file search main window under "Select template > Empty folders"

You can use an "Include" filter in the TreeSize options. Under "Home > Options > Filter", you can add a new filter that only includes certain folders.

You can configure those groups at: Tools > Options > View > File Groups
Don't hesitate to send us suggestions which extensions you expect in which category. We will be happy to include this in the next release.

You can increase the number of files for the Top Files statistic under "Options > Top Files > Show the top X files".

The TreeSize File Search can search, report and delete files fulfilling certain criteria. For security reasons we have designed the deleting operation bypassing the recycle bin not to be scriptable - with the exception of the possibility to move the files, which is available through the command line option /MOVETO (Professional Edition only). Any search options saved to an XML file can be passed at the command line and the found results can be moved using a command line like this:

TreeSize.EXE /SEARCH /MOVETO "C:\Temp\TST\Moved" "C:\Temp\TSP\Files ending with TMP.xml".

You may pass a ZIP-file or the "Recycle Bin" as destination as well:

TreeSize.EXE /SEARCH /MOVETO "Recycle Bin" "C:\Temp\TSP\Files ending with TMP.xml"

You can use the command line switches (Professional Edition only) /RESTRICTED and /READONLY to do this. Sample:
TreeSize.exe /RESTRICTED /READONLY

The user of TreeSize will then not have access to Explorer context menu, may not rename or delete files or folders and the buttons for the Software applet and to connect a network drive are not available in the ribbon bar.
