FolderSizes Help

The FolderSizes main window uses a ribbon bar to expose features and functions to users.

 

The ribbon bar is grouped into several tabs - Home, View, Graph and Help.

•The View tab provides access to groups of functions impacting the main detail view, along with visibility of UI components in the main window.

•The Graph tab exposes features relating to the main window graph views (e.g. bar graph, pie graph, and folder map). See this topic for details.

•The Help tab contains features and functions providing assistance with application features, update checking, and product licensing.

 

The ribbon bar also contains a File button that provides access to file-related functions (such as saving and loaded file system data to / from XML), as well as export (saving file system scan data to other formats) and printing capabilities.

Press the key(s) corresponding to a tab to show the hot keys for the individual commands.
