Rescan needed after scan

Frage / Problem

When I change certain settings, like the file age intervals, it seems that TreeSize needs to rescan the entire volume. Can this be avoided?

Antwort / Lösung

To keep scan times and memory consuption low, TreeSize aggregates its data on folder level. Therefore a rescan is needed if certain settings are changed.

We offer another disk space manager called SpaceObServer. It regularly collects the file system information using a background agent and stores it in a SQL database, including size development and (optionally) all permissions. The reporting is faster and more flexible compared to TreeSize, because it is built on a database and collects data on file level. Here a rescan is not necessary in these scenarios.
