Version 1.0.2.0 Released
This version of FolderSizes adds an entirely new report type to the mix - the Temp Files Report. Thanks for those FolderSizes users who have filled my mailbox with suggestions and comments - don't hesitate to keep them coming!
Also, I've had a couple people ask me recently why they can't sort the order of the main FolderSizes graph. The answer is, of course, that you can! Just sort the detail view above it, and the graph will be sorted the same way. FolderSizes can even sort results displayed as the scan is in progress - and as new entries are added to the detail/graph views, the sort order is retained! All done through careful thread management via synchronization primitives, along with lightning-fast scan result sorting algorithms - it's so fast, you don't even notice (just the way it should be).

Version 1.0.2.0 Release Notes:
- Added a "% of parent" column to the detail list view.
- Added a brand new file report type called "Temporary Files". This new report will provide you with insight as to location of temp files on your system, as well as their size. This is done via a temp filename "mask" which is compared against each scanned filename; those that match the mask are included in the report. Since the temp report list can be burdened by a very large number of files (for example, if you scan your entire C drive, you may found many thousands of temp files), the list sorting and containment algorithms for this report have been highly optimized.
- Many new memory and performance optimizations.
- Increased horizontal size of file reporting window slightly to accommodate plans for future capabilities.
- Changed default control focus of the report generator dialog to the path combo box. Also changed default button to the "start scan" button.
- The FolderSizes graph view can now be used to navigate child folders, just as the list view can. Click a graph bar to highlight the corresponding entry in the list above. Double-click a graph bar to drill into the corresponding subfolder.
- Extended the online help, as required, to accommodate the changes to this build.
