You can select all files via the usual keyboard shortcut Ctrl-A, or via "Home > Select all" in the ribbon menu. Changing the file owner for all selected files can be done by clicking "Change file owner" in the right click menu of the result list.

By default customers will be informed about new updates by email, unless this feature was deactivated in the personal settings of our customer's area. In addition to that, TreeSize regularly checks if there is an update available and notifies you about.

To activate the "Drives List" in the bottom left corner of TreeSize again, please click the "View" tab and ensure "Drive List" is checked in the "Show or hide" group.

Note: The Drive List features its own ribbon tab that becomes visible and active as soon as the Drive List was clicked. The ribbon tab provides various options that are directly related to the Drive List.

First ensure that you have the installer for the full version and your license key. Both are available within your maintenance period in our customer area.

You can now uninstall our software on your old computer and install it on your new computer. An explcit license deactivation is not necessary.

If you would like to move your user settings from your old computer to your new computer as well, please open the application (File) menu of TreeSize and open the sub menu of the "Options" dialog (small arrow to the right). In the sub menu, please select "Export". A dialog will open that lets you chose a target destination for the TreeSize settings file.

After copying the settings file to the new computer, open TreeSize and open the options sub menu again. Now click "Import" and select the settings file.

You can do this with the command line switch "/DATE"

This switch will add the current date to all file names occurring after it on the command line. This is useful if you want to do scans regularly every night or every weekend. If you want the date included in all filenames, then /DATE should be your first command line option. The following example will scan the network path \host\share and save the result to a file like C:\scans\name_03-12-20_1550.xls:

Treesize.exe /DATE /EXCEL "C:\scans\name.xls" "\\host\share"

Use "Help > Check for update" to find out if thereis a newer versions available and to install it.

You can download new versions within your maintenance period for free. If your maintenance expired you can renew it also in our customer area.

What you describe is exactly what TreeSize does. The last change date of a folder that Treesize shows is the "latest" last change date of all files in the whole subtree. In contrast to this, the Windows Explorer only takes direct sub-files into account when calculating the last change date of a folder. So the date shown in Treesize may differ from the date shown in the Windows Explorer, but is more accurate.

TreeSize is not available for non-Windows systems, but can scan such system through SSH or by using a Samba server.
