You can use the TreeSize File Search to schedule such a job. You can find a step by step description for this use case here.

Yes, you can sort TreeSize lists by any shown column by clicking on the header of the column. In case of the "Last Access" column, the list is sorted from the oldest to the newest date value. Click the header again to sort the list from the newest to the oldest.

The XML files were meant to store the complete results of a scan for recalling them later and to compare them with the latest scan results. So there was (and is) no need for limiting the result display to a certain scan level.

If you are interested only in the uppermost level of the file system, HTML, PDF or Excel exports are quite comfortable, too.

If you simply want to reduce the total size of the XML file, you could deactivate the statistics on users and file types.

You can use command line paramaters to start a scan and automatically generate an Excel report.

For example:

You want to scan the drive C:\ and your installation directory of TreeSize is
"C:\Programs\JAMSoftware\TreeSize\TreeSize.exe"
Your directory for your reports is
"D:\My Company\Reports\TREESIZE\sheet1.xlsx",
with "sheet1.xlsx" as your sheet for reports.

In this case, the full command line would look like this: "C:\Programs\JAMSoftware\TreeSize\TreeSize.exe" /EXCEL "D:\MyCompany\Reports\TREESIZE\sheet1.xlsx" /SCAN "C:\"

Paths containing directory names with spaces must be embraced by double quotes, so it is a consistent and careful habit to double-quote all paths to avoid problems. Instead of retyping the command line every time you want to scan, you can save it into a .bat-file and start it by double-clicking.

/SEARCH opens the TreeSize File Search. If you add the ":start" option to this call, the search will be executed immediately. TreeSize, by default, uses the same settings as it did in the last file search. You may also supply a config file with search options. For further information, please refer to this chapter of the TreeSize manual.

You can switch this feature on or off in the options dialog under "System > Context Menu".

By default, TreeSize uses the columns for the export that are visible on the "Details" page.

You may configure the columns and other export settings in detail in the options dialog of TreeSize under the corresponding export type. You can then enable/disable the columns in the "Visible columns" list of this options page.

You can decrease the maximum number of used threads and select the priority in the options of TreeSize. To do so, please navigate to "Home" -> "Options" -> "Scan" -> "General". There, you can find the settings under the "Thread Options" headline. Reducing the number of threads will reduce the performance impact on the server.

In case this option is not visible, please navigate to the "Display" settings and set the "Application mode" to "Expert" and try it again.

Yes, this can be done in several ways.

Long paths can be searched by using the "Advanced File Search" of TreeSize. The advanced search contains a list of predefined templates, including one for "Files with long paths". You can select this template on the left side of the application window.

In the main application, folders containing long paths are highlighted in red if the setting under "Tools > Options > View > Display > Show elements conatining paths > 260 chars in red" is activated.
