DiskContent creates XML, HTML or TEXT based reports on your file system or removable storage (CD's, floppy disks, etc). The HTML and TEXT based output provide self contained reports. The XML format allows for further analysis to provide whatever details you need from your file system.
DiskContent provides detailed information on what is stored on your disk(s) and allowing a wide variety of disk based tasks and reports, such as:
Keep track of all files stored on CD's, or floppy disks such that they can be accessed without re-loading the media (eg for large music collections archived to CD),
Finding zero length (empty) files
Sorting files and folders to find the largest files.
Fast file searches looking for file names, sizes, content, etc. The output may be further refined. For example, to search for all DLL's, then run a second utility to check that each DLL is the current version.
etc.
After installing DiskContent (see install instructions), double click on the desktop shortcut for DiskContent. Select the folder (and disk), then the output format (HTML, Text or XML) and when create "Create Output". Output will be shown in the "output" tab. If the "show output" option is selected, the output will also be shown in your default browser.
In the HTML output, files are hyperlinked to their actual file. Selecting an image reference, for example will display the image. Selecting a sound file will (typically) play that sound. The asterix (*) following each file and folder will display the parent folder; that is the folder to which this file or folder belongs.
Selecting the Output Fields tab provides options for customizing what gets put into the output file for each file or folder. Note that folder size includes the size of the entire hierarchy stored within that folder, that is, all files and sub-folders.
The Sort tab allows all output to be sorted by name, size, etc.
The Filter tab allows you to restrict output (by name, content, size, etc), or search for a specific file set.
The Reports tab provides a few pre-defined reports: to find zero length files, listing all files by size, and files created in the last 24 hours.
