Mutiple File Report Paths

FolderSizes version 4.0 introduced the ability to generate File Reports against multiple file system scan paths.

You can specify multiple scan paths in a couple of different ways.

Using the second option is generally recommended because it provides greater scan path validation potential, and allows you to visualize the order of scan paths being used. To use this method, click the "multiple paths" button within the File Reports main window. This will cause the Multiple Path Manager window to appear.

This window shows a listing of all the paths that will be scanned during File Report generation. To add to this list, you can browse for (or enter directly) a file system path and click the Add button. Note that network paths, specified in UNC format (e.g. "\\computer\share") are fully supported.

To remove a path from this list, select it and click the Delete button. You can also select a path and modify it, then click the Replace button to update the existing entry. Manage the order of entries in the path list by selecting a path and clicking either the Up or Down button.

When you settled upon a single set of scan paths, click the OK button. The Multiple Path Manager window will close, and the scan paths will be entered into the File Report window paths edit box in pipe-delimited format.

Note that multiple, pipe-delimited paths can also be passed in through the FolderSizes command line.
