There, all ordinary files of the directory are put together. + That is, all files, which are immediate children of the directory, not those + of subdirectories. This has the advantage, that the directory list is cleaner + and that the statistics is sounder. Because with this item you can + see how much space is used all in all by the files of the directory (not of subdirectories). + </p> + <p>The <Files> item is ommitted, if there is only one file in the + directory, or if it has no subdirectories. + </p> + <h3><Free Space></h3> + <p>If you have activated "Show Free Space" in the Options menu, each drive + has an <Free Space> item. The size of this item tallies with the amount + of free space available on the drive. In the treemap this item has a dark grey color. + Through the <Free Space> item you get an impression of the ratio between + the totaly used disk space and the free disk space. This information corresponds + with the value shown in the Windows Explorer properties dialog for the drive. + </p> + <h3><Unknown></h3> + <p>If you have activated "Show Unknown" in the Options menu, each drive + has an <Unknown> item. The matter is as follows. + On the one hand, WinDirStat knows the total capacity of the drive and + the free disk space. (These values tally with the number shown by the + Windows Explorer properties dialog for the drive.) + On the other hand WinDirStat has determined the sizes of all files + and added them up. + Well, <Unknown> is the difference: Total capacity minus free space + minus determined sum. This rest can be greater than zero by serveral reasons. + For instance there can be directories (e.g. "System Volume Information") with read-access + denied. Their size cannot be included in the sum calculated by WinDirStat. + In the treemap, the <Unknown> item is colored vivid yellow. + </p> + <h3>< (in column headings)</h3> + <p>indicates that the list is <a href="sorting.htm">sorted</a> by this column in ascending order. + </p> + <h3>> (in column headings)</h3> + <p>indicates that the list is <a href="sorting.htm">sorted</a> by this column in descending order. + </p> + </BODY> +</html> |
