4.20
- New tweak option added (Options->Tweaks):
- "Scan MFT (if possible) when a folder is selected for analysis" - default is off
- Normally, when a folder is selected for analysis WizTree will scan using the Windows API (MFT scanning is not used). This method is generally quicker when analyzing small to medium sized folders, but for very large folders it can be much quicker to scan the entire MFT file instead.
- If this option is enabled WizTree will always scan the MFT file (is possible) when a folder is selected. You can also force WizTree to scan the MFT when a folder is selected by holding down the CTRL key when starting a new scan. The CTRL key must be down when the scanning process starts for this to work.
- Fixed possible reverse order sorting issue in File View when scanning multiple drives/folders
- Cut/Copy files to clipboard working again on Windows XP/2000/2003 (stopped working in 4.18 due to compatibility issues with new code)
- Processing of folders with millions of files with unique file extensions greatly sped up. Previously WizTree could appear to stop responding when loading such folders into the tree view or when generating the tree map.
- Tree map export now always processes files and folders in size order as the resulting output looks much nicer this way
- Windows Explorer context menu shortcut key for WizTree changed from W to Z (from &WizTree to Wi&zTree) to prevent conflict with "New" option
- Fixed issue where file sizes/allocated sizes could incorrectly be set to 0 for hard linked files in some cases
- MFT scanning speed up to 15% faster in certain cases over previous version

4.19
- WizTree can now locate duplicate files by Name and Size, or Name, Size and Date.
- WizTree considers file names that have been automatically renamed by Windows as equivalent.
- e.g. "NAME.EXT", "NAME (1).EXT", "NAME (2).EXT", "NAME - COPY.EXT", "NAME - COPY (1).EXT" are equivalent
- Note that WizTree currently doesn't compare the file contents, so take care before deleting files that might not be true duplicates.
- To locate duplicates, select the "File View" then select the duplicate detection method from the "Duplicate Files" drop down box. If any duplicate files are located while scanning, they will be indicated by a "+" symbol next to the file name - click on the plus to expand the list of duplicate files which will be displayed under the original file.
- New "Dup Count" (number of duplicates the file has) and "Dup Size" (total size of all other duplicate files) columns will appear and the list can be sorted by these to quickly locate duplicates. Select the "Duplicates only" checkbox to quickly display only files that have duplicates.
- A new separate "File Name" column has been added to the "File View" that displays just the file name, excluding the path
- File view might not have shown all relevant files when "max files" was not set to "ALL" and sorting was not by size - fixed
- File view sorting is much quicker now
- Regular expression filters would incorrectly be applied to "entire path" when match by "name only" was selected if the reg expression contained a backslash - fixed
- Themes are now automatically disabled when WizTree is running as local system account ("SYSTEM") as this would cause some display elements not to render correctly when using remote access tools such as ScreenConnect
- Stability improvements when scanning network folders and drives
|
4.18
- "Include" filter is now no longer applied WHILE scanning as this causes files and folders to be filtered out incorrectly - it is now applied after scanning. Only the "Exclude" filter is applied while scanning now.
- Improved "=folder" filter processing. It's now possible to locate folders of a certain size by using a filter like:
- =folder >1g
- (This finds folders larger than 1 Gig in size)
- fixed bug in allocated size filtering (file size was used instead of allocated size when filtering by allocated size, e.g. a>100m)
- Copy/Cut/Delete and other operations now work correctly with multiple files from different folders selected. Previously it would only work if all files were in the same folder.
- progress bar tweaked to be a little smoother
- progress was not being updated on screen when loading CSV files - fixed
|
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 prevening 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)
- 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
|
4.16
- New "Tweaks" option added to Options menu:
- - Drag/drop can be enabled/disabled
- - Open file on double click can be enabled/disabled
- - File system monitoring can be enabled/disabled (disabling it will prevent WizTree from detecting deleted files and folders)
- - Max modified date diaplayed can toggle between maximum date of all sub folders and files or the last modified date of the folder itself
- - WizTree classic theme can be enabled/disabled. Some users claim the classic theme makes the UI snappier
- - Grid horizontal lines can be enabled/disabled
- - Alternate row colors for grids can be enabled/disabled
- - Gradient colors in treemap can be enabled/disabled
- - Number of decimal places can be set
- Selecting files now also shows total allocated size of selected, along with total file size
- Sorted column will now be highlighted
- Fixed rare issue where WizTree would sometimes incorrectly flag files as deleted when scanning very large drives
- File and folder icons in tree/file views tweaked to look better when scaled
- Unicode characters were not being saved to search and filter drop down history correctly - fixed
- Emojis were not being displayed correctly in file search and filter fields - fixed
- Tweaked mobile phone scanning code to be more robust. It should now work on phones that failed to scan previously
|
4.15
- UI tweaked to look like Windows 11 style
- WizTree can now export/import ".tsv" (tab separated values) files.
Simply set the file name extension to ".tsv" when saving to enable this, otherwise it will use a comma to separate the values
- Some UI elements would be slightly blurry on high DPI screens - fixed
- Deleted files will now be marked with a red outline in the treemap as they are detected
- Fixed treemap hover glitch which could happen in certain situations when deleting files
- Various translations updated
|
4.14.0.1
- Fixed row height scaling issue with high DPI screens - if you already downloaded 4.14 (5 June 2023) please download again and reinstall. Apologies for any inconvenience.
|
4.14
- Fixed rare bug that might cause some folders not to be detected by WizTree when parsing MFT file due to unusual MFT record ordering
- Tree, file and extension views text size can be increased/decreased by using Ctrl+MouseWheel
- When importing CSV files WizTree will now display the line number containing invalid data that caused the import to fail.
Useful for those who create WizTree compatible CSV files
- Added new "Reset Configuration to default values" function to the File menu.
This will set all but the licencing info back to default values.
Use this if you notice anything weird happening (like very large or small column widths, font sizes, etc)
- WizTree will now by default display the maximum "last modified date" for all files and folders within a folder instead of the standard Windows last modified date.
This will only apply to new installations or when resetting the configuration.
To disable this edit the WizTree3.ini file and change the following setting:
- ShowMaxModifiedDate=0
- WizTree will now default to sorting by "Allocated" space instead of "Size" as this better reflects actual space used by files.
Allocated space will now also be displayed on the Treemap by default.
This will only apply to new installations or when resetting the configuration
- Installer has been updated to use the correct configuration file location when being installed to a non "Program Files" location.
If WizTree detects it's running from the "Program Files" folder it assumes it's the "installed" version and keeps the config file in the %appdata%WizTree3 folder, otherwise it will keep the config file in the same folder it's running from.
Previously the installer would always assume the config file was in %appdata% folder, which would be incorrect when installing to a non default location.
- This is useful for Enterprise users running automated installs as the "SYSTEM" user as the various config command line parameters will now be applied to the correct configuration file.
- e.g. to do a silent install of WizTree into the "C:WizTreeApp" folder with no desktop icon, auto configuring it to not run as admin, disable checking for updates, and setting the license key:
- wiztree_4_14_setup.exe /DIR="C:WizTreeApp" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP- /MERGETASKS=!desktopicon /runasadmin=false /checkforupdates=false /supportercode=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
- Installer will now update the registry to make mapped network drives that were created by non elevated processes visible to elevated processes like WizTree.
This will require a restart to take effect if not already enabled.

4.13
- Regular Expression search added. To perform a regex search, type in a forward slash followed immediately by the regex, e.g.:
- /[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9].csv$
- If the regex contains spaces, enclose it in double quotes, like this:
- /"[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2} [0-9].csv$"
- Regular expression searches can be used for file search and include/exclude filters
- Search history dropdown added to File Search and Include/Exclude filters
- Include/Exclude Filters can now be applied to entire path (default) or file name only
- New command line parameter /filterfullpath=[0|1] added to control whether filters are applied to full path or file name only. Default is full path.
- e.g. WizTree64.exe /filterfullpath=0
- Support for DrivePool, Storage Spaces and other similar "virtual" drives added (WizTree would crash or stop working when scanning these types of drive before)
- Importing a CSV file would display incorrect file dates/times due to timezone adjustment error - fixed
- Fixed possible "Access Violation" error on startup when scanning for devices such as mobile phones
- default sorting can now be set via command line /sortby=sortoption, where sortoption can be
- 1 = sort by file size (desc), file name
- 2 = sort by allocated size (desc), file name
- 3 - sort by modified date (desc)
- Percent of Drive calculations (File View) were incorrect when multiple drives were selected - fixed
- WizTree will now remember if tree and file view data is being sorted by size or allocated and use the same sort order when restarted
- New Indonesian translation added (thanks to Marcellinus Ferdinand Suciadi)

4.12
- Fixed issue with file size filters (e.g. >1g) not handling folders correctly
- Fixed file filter bug that could cause matching files not to appear in some cases
- New Czech translation added (thanks to DrTactless)
