DiskSizes 1.6

  1. Changed the CD-ROM option label to read "Include CD/DVD drives" since this option is not limited to CDs or read-only drives.
  2. Added support for terabyte (TB) disk drives.
  3. Hard-disk and file sizes can now be based on powers of 1000 or 1024. This affects the definitions of KB, MB, GB, and TB. When 1000 is selected, a GB is a billion bytes and a TB is a trillion bytes. (K is kilo, M is mega, G is giga and T is tera). Cluster sizes are always based on powers of 1024.
  4. Added an option to save the column widths of the drive list on the main screen. This setting is initially on. It may be turned off from the System Menu (click on DiskSizes' icon or press Alt-Spacebar).
  5. Added an option to save the position of the main window. This setting is initially on. It may be turned off from the System Menu (click on DiskSizes' icon or press Alt-Spacebar).
  6. The Measures Folder Disk Use dialog-box now displays the cluster size of a selected reference drive.
  7. Pressing the Browse button on the Measures Folder Disk Use dialog-box will display a resizable window that includes folder-management features when DiskSizes runs on Windows 2000 or Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) or later.
  8. Added a text-file export feature to the Displays Folder Disk Use Table dialog-box.
  9. Read-only text boxes now have a white background when there aren't any editable text boxes in the same window and a light background when there is an editable text box in the same window. This change makes the text in read-only text boxes easier to read.

DiskSizes 1.5

  1. Added support for the following reference sizes: 512 B, 2 KB, 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB and all of these. Now you can measure folder disk use for a variety of cluster sizes, including those that do not apply to the drives in or attached to your computer.
  2. Reduced the time needed for measuring folder disk use.
  3. Changed the wait cursor to the interruptible-task cursor in the Measures Folder Disk Use dialog box. This cursor or mouse pointer signals that the measuring task may be interrupted.
  4. The hand cursor now displays properly for Windows Vista and later when the mouse pointer is over my web address in the About DiskSizes dialog box.
