Jam Software Updates Disk Space Management Software TreeSize

The optimized version 6 of the disk space management software TreeSize for Windows comes with big improvements: scans – e.g. for occupied disk space, single files, or duplicate data – run up to five times faster.

The Treves-based company JAM Software GmbH has improved their software in the latest release. Their products are used by 80% of the top 100 international companies.

“In TreeSize version 6 we optimized existing functions and added many new features. Some of them were inspired by feedback from our customers, others were the result of our own R&D” says Joachim Marder, CEO, JAM Software and lead developer of TreeSize. “The new version is faster, its user interface is much more intuitive, and – last but not least – it is much more flexible than its predecessors.”

The file search profits from improved search filters. Queries can be created more precisely. The integrated preview facilitates filter creation and management. Once set, filters can be applied to or excluded from single scans, e.g. the duplicate file search. The software recognizes simple placeholders as well as complex patterns (regular expressions) and enables users to deduplicate duplicate content.

TreeSize enables users to monitor the development of disk space usage over longer periods of time. Images of allocated disk space at a certain point in time (snapshots) are compared to the current state. Since Windows creates those snapshots automatically in regular intervals, users can access information on disk space usage prior to the installation.

“This snapshot comparison is a unique feature of our disk space management software,” states Joachim Marder.

Another improvement: the revised HTML export. It displays an expandable tree view of the scan results in any standard web browser.

The redesigned user interface in the Microsoft Ribbon look ensures ease of use.

The biggest improvement works in the background: on local NTFS drives, it utilizes the Master File Table containing metadata on all files. This way, it gains fast access to information on the size of all files – scans can be completed up to five times faster than in preceding versions.

TreeSize Professional is available as a 64-bit version – system memory will never pose a restriction, not even on the largest server systems.
