Patch Notes

WizTree 4.25 (28 February 2025)$$$CSV Export options that were previously only available via command line are now selectable when using the Export to CSV function. Additional data items can be included in the export along with extra filtering and sorting options. Note that either Tree View or File View data will be exported depending on which tab is active. Select the correct tab before selecting the CSV export function.$$$CSV file exports will now include drive size info by default (total space; space used; space free and reserved space). To exclude this info from the exported CSV file; set command line parameter /exportdrivecapacity=0$$$CSV files containing drive size info will have the info displayed on screen (previously only space used was displayed when importing a CSV file)$$$CSV file import speed greatly increased$$$Fixed bug in 32 bit version that would prevent Windows\System32 folder from being scanned correctly when using slower non NTFS method

Patch Notes

WizTree 4.24 (31 January 2025)$$$WizTree will now hide drives hidden by Windows Group Policy settings (if any). Note that these hidden drives can still be selected by using Select Folder and then typing in the drive name; e.g. c: (like Windows Explorer allows)$$$percentage displayed for file extensions was not calculated correctly when multiple items were scanned together - fixed$$$Percentages displayed will now always default to being calculated using allocated values instead of size; unless sort order is set to Size as Allocated is the default sort order$$$Duplicate detection method now defaults to name; size AND date (previously just name and size) - will affect new installs only$$$its now possible to set the WizTree config folder location via command line parameter. e.g. /configfolder=c:\WizTreeConfig$$$OR by creating the following registry key:$$$HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Antibody Software\WizTree$$$and creating a string named configfolder within this key containing the config file folder location.$$$The command line parameter will take precedence over the registry key. This setting and command line work with both the installer (setup) and WizTree executables (4.24 or newer)

Yes
Minor Release?
Yes
Patch Notes

WizTree 4.20 (29 July 2024)$$$New tweak option added (Options->Tweaks):$$$Scan MFT (if possible) when a folder is selected for analysis - default is off$$$Normally; when a folder is selected for analysis WizTree will scan using the Windows API (MFT scanning is not used). This method is generally quicker when analyzing small to medium sized folders; but for very large folders it can be much quicker to scan the entire MFT file instead.$$$If this option is enabled WizTree will always scan the MFT file (is possible) when a folder is selected. You can also force WizTree to scan the MFT when a folder is selected by holding down the CTRL key when starting a new scan. The CTRL key must be down when the scanning process starts for this to work.$$$Fixed possible reverse order sorting issue in File View when scanning multiple drives/folders$$$Cut/Copy files to clipboard working again on Windows XP/2000/2003 (stopped working in 4.18 due to compatibility issues with new code)$$$Processing of folders with millions of files with unique file extensions greatly sped up. Previously WizTree could appear to stop responding when loading such folders into the tree view or when generating the tree map.$$$Tree map export now always processes files and folders in size order as the resulting output looks much nicer this way$$$Windows Explorer context menu shortcut key for WizTree changed from W to Z (from &WizTree to Wi&zTree) to prevent conflict with New option$$$Fixed issue where file sizes/allocated sizes could incorrectly be set to 0 for hard linked files in some cases$$$MFT scanning speed up to 15% faster in certain cases over previous version

Patch Notes

WizTree 4.19 (5 March 2024)$$$WizTree can now locate duplicate files by Name and Size; or Name; Size and Date.$$$WizTree considers file names that have been automatically renamed by Windows as equivalent.$$$e.g. NAME.EXT; NAME (1).EXT; NAME (2).EXT; NAME - COPY.EXT; NAME - COPY (1).EXT are equivalent$$$Note that WizTree currently doesnt compare the file contents; so take care before deleting files that might not be true duplicates.$$$$$$To locate duplicates; select the File View then select the duplicate detection method from the Duplicate Files drop down box. If any duplicate files are located while scanning; they will be indicated by a + symbol next to the file name - click on the plus to expand the list of duplicate files which will be displayed under the original file.$$$$$$New Dup Count (number of duplicates the file has) and Dup Size (total size of all other duplicate files) columns will appear and the list can be sorted by these to quickly locate duplicates. Select the Duplicates only checkbox to quickly display only files that have duplicates.$$$A new separate File Name column has been added to the File View that displays just the file name; excluding the path$$$File view might not have shown all relevant files when max files was not set to ALL and sorting was not by size - fixed$$$File view sorting is much quicker now$$$Regular expression filters would incorrectly be applied to entire path when match by name only was selected if the reg expression contained a backslash - fixed$$$Themes are now automatically disabled when WizTree is running as local system account (SYSTEM) as this would cause some display elements not to render correctly when using remote access tools such as ScreenConnect$$$Stability improvements when scanning network folders and drives

Minor Release?
Yes
Patch Notes

WizTree 4.17 (22 January 2024)$$$Include and exclude filters are now applied WHILE scanning non NTFS drives (folders; network shares; mobile phones; etc.) This can greatly speed up scans by prevening certain folders from being scanned at all; and can also greatly reduce memory use. This also works when exporting via the command line.$$$$$$Toggle filters on/off by clicking on the filter button under the Scan button; or Options->Filter Scan Results (Ctrl+Shift+F)$$$$$$For example; if you use Synology NAS; you can get WizTree to ignore snapshot and recycle folders by setting the exclude filter to: #snapshot|#recycle|@recycle$$$before starting a scan. Note that there should not be any spaces between the vertical pipes (vertical pipes are interpreted as OR and spaces interpreted as AND). The example above will exclude any file or folder name that contains #snapshot OR #recycle OR @recycle.$$$$$$Another example:$$$To exclude the C:\Windows\WinSxS and C:\Program Files folders from being scanned; you would set the exclude filter to C:\Windows\WinSxS\|C:\Program Files\$$$Note that double quotes are required around filter items that contain spaces.$$$Exploring a folder containing an exe with the same name as the folder would launch the exe instead of opening the folder - fixed$$$WizTree will now automatically remove any spaces between vertical pipes in filter and search fields to ensure they work as expected$$$Slovak; Turkish and Swedish translations updated
