Anyone Know of a Folder Tree Program?

Hi folks


@CerebralFreeze

Using Dolphin I like the "Show in Groups" feature.

AND !!!! unlike Windows explorer -- SORT works properly !!!!!



Problem with Treesize free like all applications using the built in standard Windows / File explorer API is that even though Windows can now support long path / file names (>266 chars) the applications out there are still using the standard API which can't show longer than 266 chars.

If you have some say music files on NAS server e,g 3 TB of music its possible to get some quite long names - especially if you have decent naming for your tracks / songs etc.

Agree that some apps are not resolving path length/ filename length correctly, Treesize does handle it fine though.

Hi there
Thanks for that info -- must be new !!!
Filezilla although an FTP client also handles lengths correctly.

Can't understand why Ms hasn't changed the API so things like file / windows explorer also work correctly --especially in "preview" / developer type releases.

Thanks again for info and "Stay safe" this Xmas -- a lot of places have relaxed restrictions for XMAS shopping -- seems to be causing COVID cases rising again. I'd just delay Xmas until around Easter this year now some Vaccines are being rolled out -- but I'm an Engineer not a politician !!!!!

Hi! I just started using TreeSize. Is there a way to not show hidden folders except for excluding them individually?

Thanks for the info. The problem is that I want to get rid of the main pane for TreeSize. You can't do that with their paid program. (I checked yesterday.) It looks like nothing can do what I am looking for. ☹

Just to revisit this thread, TreeSize has an option to enable both a graph display of disk usage plus an option to enable drag & drop.


Another interesting development is from Microsoft, as detailed in this Bleeping computer post, which looks promising.
Windows 10 to get a built-in command-line disk space analyzer

Hey tomcat!

I was trying to use the TreeSize Personal version. It's one of the paid versions. Funny thing is that the free version actually has a few additional options that the paid doesn't have. One is to get rid of a main pane in which it has charts, details, etc.

However, I can't use TreeSize Free because it doesn't save the tree folder that I set up. I want to have a folder tree that always opens up with the same branches every time I boot up my computer.

It looks like there is nothing available that I want to do.

Show me the Main Pane you're trying to get rid of. Here's mine.

Thanks. I'm going to try XYPlorer. Someone suggested it. If that doesn't work, then I don't know of anything else.
