The treemap on the other + hand shows each file as <i>one</i> rectangle. + </p> + <h3>Q: Does WinDirStat start threads for the read jobs?</h3> + <p>A: No. WinDirStat is - apart from the about box, which runs in an own thread + - deeply single-threaded. All work is done in OnIdle(). + </p> + <h3>Q: What does the item <Files> mean?</h3> + <p>A: See <A href="legend.htm">Legend</A>. + </p> + <h3>Q: What does the > symbol in front of the column captions mean?</h3> + <p>A: The > and < symbols in the column headers indicate the current + <A href="sorting.htm">sorting</A>. + </p> + <h3>Q: What is the file wdsr0407.dll for?</h3> + <p>A: This file contains the German translation of WinDirStat. 0407 is the + language identifier for "German - Germany". If this file is absent, then + WinDirStat is available in the (built-in) language English only. + </p> + <h3>Q: The size information in KB and MB seems to be a bit too small.</h3> + <p>A: WinDirStat sticks to the computing convention, that "kilo" doesn't stand + for 1000 but for 1024.
