FolderSizes v4.5 BETA
FolderSizes v4.5 is just around the corner, and it has several new features and enhancements that will prove very valuable to our users. Perhaps the most important of these is Unicode support, which will allow FolderSizes to analyze and report against file systems that contain Unicode characters in their component names.
Now more than ever before, FolderSizes is being leveraged within larger enterprises that use it to analyze and manage data storage systems on a global scale. The upcoming FolderSizes v4.5 Unicode support will better support these enterprise customers while reaching out to the ever-expanding global software market as a whole.
FolderSizes v4.5 also includes a number of other important enhancements, including access to the search facility (including exporting search results) via the command line interface, improved file and folder name sorting algorithms (including superior support for Unicode characters and "natural" sort ordering), lots of user interface and performance improvements, and more.
Since there are a considerable number of changes in FolderSizes v4.5, we'll be running through a brief BETA period - and we could use your help. But before you download and install the BETA, please read this list of considerations:

- In particular, we need people to test the new Unicode capabilities of FolderSizes v4.5. If you have need of this new capability, please give it a merciless thrashing and report any problems you find.
