Changes in V5.3.4: (21 Jan 2010)
• If single files are deleted from the "Details" list, the size in the directory tree will now be updated even if "Automatic Updates" are turned off.
• Bugfix: On systems that are not part of a Windows domain, delays could occur when expanding items in the directory tree or when the information for the long hint text was compiled.

• A few minor improvements have been incorporated.
• Changes in V5.3.3: (11 Dec 2009)
• Bugfix - File Search: A long list of duplicate files could contain invalid items in some cases. This caused an error if the list was scrolled to the bottom or if it was exported to a file.
• Bugfix: "Show Files" in the right click menu of the "Age of Files" chart as well as a double click on one of the bars produced empty result lists on some systems.
• Bugfix - File Search: When loading search options from an XML file, the date values were not restored correctly on some systems.
Changes in V5.3.2: (24 Nov 2009)
• Environment variables can now be used in paths to be scanned, e.g. if they are entered in the directory dropdown box in the top left of TreeSize or passed via command line.
• The function to list files of a user / extension / file age interval now takes the currently set exclude filters into account.

• TreeSize Professional has passed the "Compatible with Windows 7" logo test.
• Introduced new toolbar buttons "Back" and "Forward". You can use these buttons to navigate like in the Windows Explorer.
• In the directory edit field in the upper left corner of TreeSize Professional it is now possible to enter multiple paths at the same time by separating them using semicolons. Each of these paths may contain wildcards. Example: d:\data\;e:\logfiles\;h:\user*\
• Top 100 List: Added columns Creation Date (by default visible), Attributes, Version, Permissions (by default not visible)
• Added column "Full User Name" (by default visible) and "User Comment" (by default not visible) on the "Users" page. Use the column header context menu to adjust columns.

• Added possibility to export a subbranch of the scanned file system to the right click menu of every folder.
• Under "Tools > Options > Columns / Export" there is a new export type for CSV files now. This way CSV files can now be configured independently from the text export.
• You can now export the user settings to a file ("Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Settings") and import them later, or provide them to another instance or user of TreeSize Professional. You can also reset the user settings to the factory settings here.
• The drives panel is no longer blocking TreeSize Professional on startup for a while if an unreachable network path is included in the list.
• Introduced new menu "Edit" to the main menu. It provides similar features like the Windows Explorer "Edit" menu and includes: "Cut", "Copy", "Paste", "Select All" and "Invert Selection".
• F5 now only updates the "Details" list if the Details list is focused. Otherwise it will, like before, perform a rescan of the currently selected directory branch.
• Improved progress dialogs when printing or exporting. They showed a wrong progress sometimes.

• File Search - Duplicate Files Search: Introduced new "Deduplicate Checked" button on the right side of the file search window. This button replaces all checked duplicates with links to the same file. If the files are on the same partition, then all files will be hardlinks to the same content. If creation of a hardlink is not possible, a symbolic link is used under Windows Vista and later. If this is not possible too, a Windows shortcut will be created instead as fallback.
• File Search: Added column "Author" to the result lists which shows the author included in most MS Office files.
• File Search - Move Checked Files: We enhanced the option "Leave shortcut at original location", so that you can now decide to leave a (hard) link instead of a Windows shortcut.
• File Search - Move Checked Files: Introduced new option "Automatically rename existing files". If this option is activated, files will be automatically renamed if a file with the same name already exists in the destination.
• File Search - Move Checked Files: We introduced a new option "Preserve directory structure". This option is activated by default, because the directory structure was preserved in former versions of TreeSize Professional. You can now deactivate this option to move files directly to the chosen destination. Existing files located in the destination will be renamed (e.g.: "..\file.name" -> "..\file.bak0.name") if the option "Automatically rename existing files" is activated.
• File Search - Move Checked Files: When moving files from one drive to another, the creation date is now preserved.

• Bugfix: The command line option /TREEMAP was not working in combination with /NOGUI.
• Bugfix: When terminating a duplicate file search with MD5 checksums before it was finished, the result list could incorrectly include some entries that were not checked for equal file content.

• File Search: If more than one file is selected, the number and size of the selected files is shown in the status bar.
• Bugfix: File Search: The duplicate file search occasionally locked when identifying duplicate files using MD5 checksums.

• A few minor bug fixes and improvements have been incorporated.
Changes in V5.2.2 (17 Feb 2009)

• Bugfix: When scrolling in the bar chart that had a lot of elements, the chart was corrupted.
• Bugfix: On systems that had the Windows printer spooler service not running an error message occurred at the startup of TreeSize.
• Bugfix: Deactivating the statistics for "Age of Files" in the Options dialog did not persist when TreeSize was started again.
• Bugfix: The option "Include only files created in the past XX days" did also check the creation date of folders in V5.2 and therefore returned unexpected results.

Changes in V5.2 (04 Feb 2009)
• File Search: The "Move Checked Files" feature is now able to handle paths of more than 255 characters and optionally is able to preserve the permissions of the moved files.
• File Search: The "Move Checked Files" feature as well as the /MOVETO command line option (Professional Edition only) now allow to pass the checked files to any executable file as parameter. This offers system administrators a lot of possibilities to manually and automatically process the search results of a TreeSize Professional File Search.
• File Search: The search results can now be saved to a native Excel file. If multiple result lists are saved, each list will be placed on a separate sheet.
• File Search: With a new option on the "Move Checked Files" dialog you can now automatically remove empty parent directories that are left over after moving / deleting the checked files.
• File Search: In the list of search patterns of the "Custom Search" type it is now possible to use patterns that include fragments of a path, e.g.: "C:\Windows\*\*.exe" or "*\Temp\*.old"
• File Search: The ZIP files created by the "Move Checked Files" feature are now able to store Unicode file and folder names in the ZIP file. ZIP files containing Unicode paths can only be unzipped properly by Unicode compatible ZIP tools like WinRar or WinZip.
• File Search: It is now also possible to start the File Search with Full administrative privileges from the Windows "Start" menu and the "Tools" menu of TreeSize Professional.
• File Search: In the "File" menu it is now possible to print a result list or to copy its contents to the clipboard. Use the right click menu of the lists to copy only the selected items.
• File Search: It is now possible to copy the contents of the drive list to the clipboard using its right click menu.
• File Search: The /DATE command line parameter is now also supported for the file search. This way you can automatically add the current date and time to file names specified for the /SAVE parameter or the /MOVETO parameter with a ZIP file. /DATE will change all file names that appear after its occurrence on the command line.
• The new command line options /NOHEADERS and /NOUNITS allow to omit the headers and units from exported files, which simplifies getting plain data for later postprocessing.
• A new option allows to exclude files that are marked as Offline. Offline files are often not physically present on the disk or are only cached temporarily on the local disk.
• The new command line option /LISTSEPARATOR allows to define the separator that is used when exporting text files.
• The new command line parameter /EXPORTDRIVELIST has been added, which saves the contents of the drives panel to a file.
• Now the Excel 2007 format (file extension XLSX) is supported by TreeSize Professional. This enables you to export Excel files with more than 65,000 rows.
• All Excel files saved by TreeSize Professional now have numbers and units separated, which simplifies performing calculations with size values. When saving the "Details" list to an Excel file now only the selected items will be saved if more than one item is selected.
• All pattern editors (e.g. View > Options > Include/Exclude, the custom file search, etc.) now have checkboxes in front of their patterns. This allows to deactivate certain patterns temporarily without the need to delete them.
• You can now choose to install the Professional Edition as portable version, e.g. on an USB stick. The settings are stored in the application path in this case.
• TreeSize Professional now stores the user settings in an XML file in the user's profile.
• Treemap: Added OLE drag support to the treemap chart. Drop support will follow in the next version. This allows dragging folders from the treemap to other locations.
• Treemap: Ctrl + und Ctrl - can now be used to zoom the treemap. The cursor keys, Home, End, PgUp and PgDown can be used to scroll the zoomed chart.
• Added a context menu item that allows to copy the underlying data from the "Age of Files" chart to the clipboard as text.
• Ctrl+X now executes the Windows Explorer "Cut" operation in the directory tree and the "Details" list. The keyboard shortcut for "Automatic Units" has been reassigned to Ctrl+U.
• When saving a scan to an XML file, the XML stylesheet is now copied next to the exported XML file and is referenced using a relative path. This simplifies using the XML files on systems not having TreeSize Professional installed.
• Several minor improvements and bugfixes on the treemap, the bar and the pie charts.
• The memory consumption for storing the file types and the user statistics has been reduced.
• Bugfix: In the "Duplicate Files" search, when checking all selected items using the context menu (if file group items get selected as well) the check state of the group items was set too, which resulted in an error when using the "Move Checked Files" function.
• Bugfix: Fixed a memory leak that occurred on Windows Vista when scanning with the option "Track NTFS Alternate Data Streams and Hardlinks" activated.
• Bugfix: It is now also possible to pass domains and servers like \\domain or \\server at the command line. Previously this worked in the user interface but caused an error message at the command line.
• Many further enhancements and a few minor bug fixes have been incorporated.
