The Tree View is the main view of Disk Triage. It is the default output view when you start the program.
The tree itself shows the details for each directory. Here you can see the total size, number of files, etc for each directory branch. In the above screen capture you can see a sizing done against my Docs directory (C:\Docs). Notice that you can drill down into the subdirectories and see their details.
The tree veiw allows you to sort by the columns, simply by clicking on the headers. You can also move the positions of the columns by dragging and dropping the headers. The columns of the tree can also be added and removed by choosing Customize Columns from the popup menu
You can see the values for just the current directory (without adding in the values for all the sub-directories) by making sure the Show Accumulated checkbox in the Basic form of the Input Specifications is not checked.
The program will show you the list of files in the current directory that match the sizing parameter - by choosing Toggle Directory Details from the popup menu. It is important to note/stress that this is not just a list of the files in the directory. It is a list of the files that match the current sizing parameters. So, if you have selected to only include *.EXE files that have the ReadOnly attribute set - then that is all that will show in the file list. As well you can view the permissions set for each directory by choosing Toggle Directory Permissions/Rights from the popup menu.
You can now also see the compressed size of a folder. The compressed size tallies up the size of all the files and sub-directories - just like the Size column - except that it will use the compressed size of a file when available.
If a directory is flagged as being compressed - then its font will be shown as Blue - just like Explorer.
Starting in Version 7.2 you will also see Create Date, Modify Date and Access Date columns in the Tree. These dates are special columns that show the most recent date that a file in the directory was created, modified and accessed. If you have nchecked the Show Accumulated checked on the Tree Options form - then you will see the dates for files that in that directory. if the checkbox is selected then you will see dates for that directory and the entire sub-directory tree under it. This is a quick way of determining how recently a directory structure has had files modified or accessed in it.
