Folder and File List

 

As file system object names appear within the right-hand scan results Window pane, they are assigned colors based upon their file attributes. You can use this section of the options dialog to determine which colors are used to represent the various file attributes.

 

Additionally, you can elect to show large folders in bold. By default, large folders are defined as those that are larger than 20% of the size of their parent folder (e.g. the scanned folder). This percentile value can be adjusted to suit your needs.

 

Performance Options

 

•Fast shell icon collection mode - When enabled, FolderSizes will use a faster mode of extracting file system object icons from the Windows shell for display in various detail views. The (minor) caveat is that some objects with unique icons (such as special system folders, etc.) will be represented in a more generic form. This option impacts presentation of icons only.

 

Note: Fast shell icon collection mode is particularly beneficial when visualizing and reporting against network paths.
