Tools Tab¶
On the ribbon tab Tools you will find several useful SpaceObServer- and Windows-specific functions.
Options¶
Opens the options dialog for SpaceObServer.
Group all Scans in Container¶
Groups all visible scans in a so-called Container (See “Containers”).
Move items¶
Opens the Move items dialog to move, archive or delete items from your hard drive. To check items of the Details view activate the “Show Checkboxes” option in the “View” menu or select the desired items.
Show Previous Scan Sizes¶
Shows the sizes of a previous scan date for the selected file system tree.
Note
This is not a backup feature! The existing file structure will not be changed by this option. Archived information of the database are used for this feature, so no date before the first scan time can be chosen.
Deactivate Previous Sizes¶
Deactivates a chosen “Show Previous Scan Sizes”.
Empty Recycle Bin¶
Deletes all items in the recycle bin to free up disk space.
Add/Remove Software¶
Opens the Windows Control Panel applet to add/remove software.
Configure Windows System Restore¶
Defines how much space the Windows System Restore feature can use on your local hard drive.
Connect Network Drive¶
Opens a window that allows you to connect a network drive to a drive letter.
Note
SpaceObServer does not necessarily need a drive letter in order to scan a drive. UNC-Paths like “\ServerShare” are also supported.
