Download WizTree 4.17

WizTree is a program that can quickly analyze a hard drive to find files and folders that take up the most space. This makes it an excellent tool to clean up the hard drive when there is a shortage of space. The program can also search for certain file types and export the results of a scan. WizTree is free to use in private environments and can also do its job without being installed first. Below you can find the changelog for version 4.17:

Changes in WizTree version 4.17:

• “Include” and “exclude” filters are now applied WHILE scanning non NTFS drives (folders, network shares, mobile phones, etc.) This can greatly speed up scans by preventing certain folders from being scanned at all, and can also greatly reduce memory use. This also works when exporting via the command line.
  Toggle filters on/off by clicking on the filter button under the Scan button, or Options->Filter Scan Results (Ctrl+Shift+F)
  For example, if you use Synology NAS, you can get WizTree to ignore snapshot and recycle folders by setting the “exclude filter” to: #snapshot|#recycle|@recycle
  before starting a scan. Note that there should not be any spaces between the vertical pipes (vertical pipes are interpreted as “OR” and spaces interpreted as “AND”). The example above will exclude any file or folder name that contains “#snapshot” OR “#recycle” OR “@recycle”.
  Another example:
  To exclude the “C:\Windows\WinSxS” and “C:\Program Files” folders from being scanned, you would set the exclude filter to C:\Windows\WinSxS\|”C:\Program Files\”
  Note that double quotes are required around filter items that contain spaces.
• Exploring a folder containing an exe with the same name as the folder would launch the exe instead of opening the folder – fixed
• WizTree will now automatically remove any spaces between vertical pipes in filter and search fields to ensure they work as expected
• Slovak, Turkish and Swedish translations updated
