SpaceSharp Files

SpaceSharp 1.1.0 makes the numbers more accurate, the map calmer, and puts every option in one settings window.

More accurate sizes

• Size on disk. Switch between file size and size on disk in Settings. Size on disk uses the compressed size of compressed, sparse and cloud files and rounds every file up to whole clusters, so it matches Explorer's "Size on disk". The status bar shows both numbers when they differ.
• Hard links counted once. An optional scan setting reads every file's link count, so data with several names (Windows keeps thousands of such files in WinSxS) is only counted once. It slows down large scans, so it's off by default.
• Free space block. When you scan a whole drive, a gray box can show the unused space, and it grows as you delete files. Off by default; turn it on in Settings.
• Protected folders. If some folders couldn't be read, a notice appears with a Restart as administrator button. SpaceSharp restarts elevated and scans the same drive again.

A calmer map

• Cushion shading. Every box has soft light-to-dark shading, which makes sizes easier to compare than flat colors. Press C to toggle it.
• Small items grouped. A folder with hundreds of small files now shows one box like "812 files, 20 GB" instead of a grid of specks. Zoom in and they appear individually. Press G to toggle it.
• Merging of single-folder chains and the zoom animation can now be turned off.

Settings window

The gear button (or Ctrl+,) opens a settings window with everything in one place: theme, palette, color mode, size measure, free space, shading, grouping, hidden and system files, hard links, and whether to confirm before moving files to the Recycle Bin. Changes apply immediately, everything is saved, and there's a reset button.

Download
