DiskGeek Files

DiskGeek was the only app in the range on its own design. This puts it on the same shell as DriverGeek, CleanGeek and AppGeek - same sidebar, same header, same cards, same About layout, same colours.

Changed

• The app now asks for the dark theme explicitly. It used to follow the Windows theme, which is why DiskGeek could come up light and look like a different product to everything else we make.
• Rebuilt around a sidebar rather than tabs: Overview, Explorer, Treemap, Duplicates, Similar images, Search, Snapshots, Settings. The reclaim figures sit next to Duplicates and Similar images in the sidebar, so you can see what is worth recovering without opening either screen.
• New Overview screen: how much was scanned, how much is recoverable, how many files, and how many folders could not be read - plus the biggest six things on the drive.
• New Settings screen stating what DiskGeek will not do: deleted files go to the Recycle Bin, there is no scheduled or unattended deletion, and there is no registry cleaning or system tuning.
• The treemap was drawing a stock primary-colour set with white gutters. Same eight-way separation, house colours.
• About no longer jumps to a different palette when you open it.
• The Explorer tree opens its root when a scan finishes instead of showing one collapsed row.

Fixed

• The Overview totals are counted off the scan itself rather than the display tree. Counting the display tree would have built a view model for every file on the drive - hundreds of thousands of them on a full C: - just to produce two numbers.
• The sidebar and Overview figures now refresh after a scan, a duplicate or similar-image find, a delete and a rename, so they cannot show stale numbers.
