Version 2.3: Released on 22 Apr 2009
· The [Files] items in the directory tree are now expandable and show the individual files after being expanded.

Ugh... it creates HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JAM Software and a useless folder in %AppData%.

[Lupo73]

I have reported these issues to their team, hoping they will fix them soon.

[Checker]

It's now V2.3.2

[Lupo73]

Unfortunately they haven't fix these issues yet.

[Lupo73]

They wrote me that it will be removed the folder creation and that the key is only for window position. So probably the next release will be fully portable.

No more empty folder in AppData ... still reg keys for window position.

[Lupo73]

I have contacted TreeSize authors to improve its portability. They sent me a prerelease version 2.4.1 that may be fully portable (store also window position settings in xml file). I cannot publish it yet, but I can send it to users that desire help me with tests. Is someone interested?

[Napiophelios]

Yes!!I would love to help

Lupo its perfectly portable
And if you dont never utilize the "Add to context menu" option
its perfectly traceless too

Even if you deselect the context menu option,these reg entries remain.
(So if stealth is important just dont ever enable the context menu)


Also,if you do not have the GlobalOptions.xml file present with the Treesize.exe
it will create an appdata folder (Jam Software) and store the generated xml file there.

P.S. Thanks for sharing this Lupo,
I have been using a home made nsis wrapper for TreeSize
but I much prefer portables written by the authors.

[Lupo73]

Good! I'll contact them to ask these small fixes to portability (essentially the removing of registry entry if the context menu feature is disabled). I'm authorized to include this prerelease in my next Suite version or the final release if they will publish it before my publication.
In the meanwhile if others desire to test/use it, you can contact me and I'll send you a download link.

[Lupo73]

TreeSize developers authorized me to include the fully portable pre-release of it in the Suite. It seems to be stable, even if is not a final version.. and it can also be downloaded separately from HERE.

[Lupo73]

Someone has tested the last stable release 2.5? Can you confirm it is fully portable (as my 2.4.1 pre-release)?

[I am Baas]

Haven't tried earlier versions but the latest version (V2.5) crashes when I try to expand to level 3 and beyond.

It does not write to the registry nor does it create anything outside the application folder.

edit: If you enable the context menu option, it will save settings in %AppData%\JAM Software\TreeSize Free.

2.5 is stealth (perfectly portable) as far as I can see. Updated our database accordingly.
