 FriedGeek: I love treesize, it's in my top 20 list of must haves. [2007-03-14 06:37]

 zkam: I love TreeSize too and use it all the time. However, with the 2.0 release seems to be much slower than my previous version (1.78). (i.e. takes about 5 times as long to scan a directory as compared to the old version.) I notice there is a new "Filter" option so maybe this is why.

Even more interesting... Scanning the same tree a second time (even after restarting the program) is MUCH quicker, so I wonder if something is being cached somewhere (i.e. in the registry perhaps?) [2007-03-14 08:58]

 Webfork: Terrific program but recommend the also portable Foldersize:

... as it will also analyze network drives. [2007-04-28 14:01]

 Alex: It's not bad, but I find that WinDirStat is much more useful:

The graphical display makes it much easier to identify files and folders which could be removed or compressed to reduce the size of a package. For example, using WinDirStat and UPX, I've gotten my portable OpenOffice installation down to 106 megabytes. [2008-05-26 18:52]

 Bill: Very fast application. However, since I have a lot of my files on a personal Buffalo Drive 600GB drive networked attached storage and this won't read network drives it's not much use to me. [2008-06-22 22:01]

 Tim: I have SnoopFree running on my machine and after I started running this it constantly popped up telling me that some program was trying to read my screen - I assume it was this one. It was VERY persistent even after I told SnoopFree to block the screen read. [2009-04-06 08:13]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
