I'm only showing the major new features or highlights here. The minor improvements, fixes and known problems are documented in the version specific history given at the end of this document.
Highlights of ShowSize 5Supports Windows Vista/Windows 7:
(*** This feature is not available in ShowSize PE) This is similar to Only Files and presents all the folders in one flat list. For example, I have sorted this "Only Folders" report on names, and I can see all the same named folders at a glance irrespective of how deep they are located. This is different from the Folder Sizes or Folders and Files report where such a sorting is not possible due to hierarchical display.New Find Names feature: Searching for a file or folder name in any report is now very convenient. Clicking on a Find Names tab on the right opens a search pane where you can enter the characters to search for in the name. It fill ups all the names found in the list. Click on any name, and it positions to that item on the main report.New Owners Report: (*** This feature is only available in 5-user-licenses or better of ShowSize, not in PE) This is similar to the File Types report except that the files are grouped by Owners. In the following example, I can see files of the owner SYSTEM.Saving and Sharing of Reports: (*** This feature is only available in 5-user-licenses or better of ShowSize, not in PE) You can save a ShowSize report by using the menu Tools--Save Report. Other users can view such a report by opening it with the menu Tools--View Report. A report can be viewed this way even on a system where that drive location is not present.Starting a command prompt: You can right-click on the report and start a command prompt or administrator command prompt (Vista/7) on the selected folder or the containing folder of the selected file.Auto refresh: (*** This feature is not available in ShowSize PE) The Auto Refresh feature allows you to leave a ShowSize window on for a long time, rescanning or refreshing automatically in a preset interval. The idea is that without any intervention, you get to see the latest reports on a disk location. The auto refresh stops as soon as you do any operation on that window. So if you don't want to disturb it, start another ShowSize to do your operations while leaving the Auto-refresh copy of ShowSize running.
