ShowSize displays values in KB, MB, GB or TB. Can I change it to display values in bytes only for easier comparison?
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Yes, you can put on the option to display values in bytes in the General page of the Options screen.

Do you have anyway to run a report that lists file age (i.e. creation date and/or last modified date)?
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008The reports “Only Files” and “Folders and Files” show modified date. Moreover an advanced option allows you to use modified time as “later” of create and modified time making it even more useful.
Other useful reports from this point of view are Unused Files report and Active Folders report. Unused Files report shows files not used (by access date) in last so many days. The Active Folders Report allows you to see how much activity occurred in the folders by Size Modified, Number of files Modified, Size accessed and number of files accessed in last so many days.
In old ShowSize 3.2.5 my automated reports came out in a plain text file in nice columns. But the new ShowSize saves reports to text file in a different way without columns. How do I get the columnized text file export?
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008ShowSize has many reports now. Moreover they are highly customizable. Hence, exporting columnized text output is not possible.
But we have given the CSV file export just for this purpose. Just export to a CSV file either from Tools menu or on command line. Then you can open it in Microsoft Excel to get the columnized spreadsheet. Once in Excel, you can do your own calculations too.
If you have Microsoft Word you can do a database insert from the CSV file to make a proper document. If you have a database program, you can do the same thing and create a database. The options are limitless with CSV export.
