FolderSizes Version 2.7 Released

Key Metric Software is proud to announce the release of version 2.7 of FolderSizes, our award-winning disk space management software.

This new revision implements a series of improvements to the drive space panel graph, resolves a couple of reported bugs, and provides a number of other minor enhancements.

To get the new version, please visit the FolderSizes download page (release notes are also available from the download page). It can be installed directly over previous versions, and is a free upgrade for existing users.

BTW, FolderSizes was recently featured on LockerGnome. Feel free to read the review if you're interested.

Baby Version 2.0 is Released

I'm proud to announce the release of Baby Version 2.0, also known as Elliot Martin Richards. Baby was made publicly available on August 8th, 2004 at 10:18am, and has the following features:

• 9lbs 2.6oz weight


• 23 inches long


• On-demand pooping and gurgling effects


• Full head of dark black hair

Technically, we consider Baby version 2.0 to be a beta - we're hoping to resolve a serious sleep deprivation bug shortly.

FolderSizes version 2.6 is here!

The latest version of FolderSizes (version 2.6) contains a wealth of enhancements that you won't want to miss. The most significant changes in version 2.6 involve the overhaul of the File Report generator (as discussed in my last blog entry). Also updated are the product documentation and shell context menu integration, along with several other miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes.

To download version 2.6 and review the complete release notes, visit the FolderSizes website download page.

As always, I'm keen to hear you input on the changes, and please keep those feature requests coming. I'm available via email at all times.

FolderSizes version 2.6 is coming...

Hey, want a sneak peek at what's coming up in the next minor version of FolderSizes?

One of the most significant improvements will be to the improved overall structure of the File Reporter. It is being remodeled in order to support a broader array of analytical file reports. Notice the two new views available in the screen shot below:
 


The new tree-oriented navigation pane will allow for better functional growth, and also provides improved potential for logical report grouping. Pretty cool, eh? Well we're just getting started.

FolderSizes version 2.5 Released

Version 2.5 of BulletProof FolderSizes has been released, and it contains a number of significant improvements. It's also a free upgrade for existing FolderSizes users - just install it over your existing version.

To get the whole scoop on what's new in v2.5, please see the release notes available from the FolderSizes Download Page. Highlights include a new "file owners" report, an overhaul of the "temp files" report, and more.

You also might notice another change - "BulletProof FolderSizes" is now just plain old "FolderSizes". Same great software, same developers, slight change in the name. There's also an all-new website for FolderSizes at - you guessed it - www.foldersizes.com. Any comments or questions regarding any of this are always welcome.

Notice: false McAfee virus report

Recently we discovered that McAfee anti-virus incorrectly identifies FolderSizes as being contaminated by the "W32/Gaobot.worm.gen.e virus".

This is a false alert. In fact, it affects a fairly large number of programs that use a specific anti-piracy protection system called Armadillo(which FolderSizes also uses). For a complete description of the problem, see the Network Associates, Inc. (e.g. McAfee) website bulletin at this location:

As the bulletin above indicates, the solution to this problem is to obtain the latest McAfee DAT update (available as of 06/24/2004).

A new PC Magazine product bulletin says FolderSizes "integrates with Windows to provide a clear analysis of disk space usage."
