About Scan Filtering

Top  Previous  Next

The FolderSizes Scan Filtering feature provides powerful scan-time file filtering capabilities. With scan filtering, you can specify precisely which files should be included in various disk space analysis results.

 

Within the Scan Filtering window, there are a series of tabs that define the filtering criteria and how they are applied. All but the first of these tabs are identical to those exposes through the FolderSizes Search facility.

 

You can load, save, and reset filter criteria using the appropriately named buttons on the Filter Options tab. You will also find two check boxes that control how scan filtering is applied.

 

Apply scan filtering to normal scans - Applies scan filtering settings to reports generated in the main FolderSizes application window.
Apply scan filtering to File Reports - Applies scan filtering settings to reports generated within the File Reports window.
